don`t kiss me
The Art of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore
"Decades prior to the radical metamorphoses executed with aplomb by contemporary artists like Nikki S. Lee and Cindy Sherman, there were those of Claude Cahun and her partner Marcel Moore... Besides being prolific theater and performance artists, the pair created countless self-portraits in a variety of guises, all with a smokey, ethereal quality that prefigures the delicate work many years later of a young Francesca Woodman... Don't Kiss Me is a collection of these startling photographs, and also includes drawings, manuscripts and ephemera, framed by essays about the artistic odd couple courtesy of seven international authors. For many, the book will be their first experience of Cahun and Moore's singular artistic vision, but surely not their last." (Nylon Magazine)
