During World War II, #Cahun and lifelong partner #MarcelMoore launched a two-person resistance campaign against the Nazis who had occupied Jersey. For this they would be sentenced to death (saved at the last minute by the #Armistice).

This is a self-portrait photomontage by the French surrealist artist Claude Cahun, titled M.R.M (Sex), created circa 1929. The work explores themes of identity, gender fluidity, and the subconscious, which were central to the Surrealist movement. Cahun, who used the pronoun "they," often challenged traditional gender roles through their self-portraits, blurring the lines between masculine and feminine. The collage incorporates various symbolic elements, including fragmented body parts, a mask with different expressions, a butterfly, and a small figure of a horse inside the head. The title "M.R.M." refers to Marcel Moore, Cahun's stepsister, life partner, and frequent collaborator, who likely took the photograph that serves as the base for the montage.

A hand holds up a copy of Heartlines: A Love Story by Sarah Waisvisz against the green leaves of a cedar. The cover of Heartlines has a hot pink banner across the top and bottom. Across the top it reads "Heartlines: A Love Story." Across the bottom it reads "A play by Sarah Waisvisz". In the middle is a bright, black-and-white photo of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore and their reflections in mirrors. The works that comprise the cover are works by Claude Cahun. They are: Self portrait (reflected in mirror), 1928, and Claude Cahun (1894–1954), Suzanne Malherbe / Marcel Moore looking into mirror, 1928, both courtesy of the Jersey Heritage Collections.

Grainy and speckled vintage black and white photo of an art assemblage by Claude Cahun. A small wooden artists' model figure, standing with one hand resting on an upturned hammer. The figure is holding a large old fashioned key in their other arm. There is a small star propped against the wall behind the scene. The figure and objects cast a strong shadow on the wall behind them. The image suggests a curiously surreal situation.

I've had this account for some months but haven't found the time to get it flowing. I'm working on that now.
My name is Eric, and I publish a few #LitJournals, so I'll be using this account to promote those and to meet interesting writers.
