Gillian Wearing and Claude Cahun - Women of the Avant-Garde 1920-1940 / Behind the mask, another mask - 2013-2017 Women of the Avant-Garde 1920-1940 (2013)
Women of the Avant-Garde 1920-1940 "Women of the Avant-Garde 1920-1940" presents eight female artists who made major contributions to Dada, Surrealism, Constructivism and other European avant-gardes of the modernist era: Claude Cahun, Sonia Delaunay, Germaine Dulac, Florence Henri, Hannah Hoch, Katarzyna Kobro, Dora Maar and Sophie Taeuber-Arp. The artists are constellated in relation to one another across five themed sections that illuminate the nature of their respective innovations: "Composing Color," "Constructing Space," "Different Rules," "New Identities" and "Another Reality."
Gillian Wearing and Claude Cahun - Behind the mask, another mask (2017)
This book draws together for the first time the self-portraits of French Surrealist artist Claude Cahun (1894-1954) and British contemporary artist Gillian Wearing (b.1963). Although they lived almost one hundred years apart, their work shares similar themes: gender, identity, masquerade and performance. Beginning with a visit to Jersey, where Cahun lived and worked until her death, and where the Cahun archive is housed, Wearing's journey of discovery is examined in this beautiful book.
