Who Was Claude Cahun?
Google Doodle Celebrates the French Surrealist Photographer.
Today's Google Doodle celebrates Claude Cahun, the French surrealist photographer and writers whose works challenged norms around gender and sexuality in the early 20th century.
Born on this day in 1894 to a Jewish family in Nantes, western France, Cahun was the child of newspaper owner Maurice Schwob and Victorine Marie Courbebaisse.
The artist (who was born Lucy Schwob) grew up surrounded by creative people: Maurice's brother was avant-garde writer Marcel Schwob and his uncle was traveler and writer David Léon Cahun.

According to Google, the artist decided to identify as non-binary, despite gender non-conformity being considered taboo in France at the time.
Around 1915, Cahun cut their hair very short and began taking self-portraits against a neutral background, dressed either as a sailor, a sportsman, a dandy or in a men's suit.
