Claude Arthaud (1895–1963) was a French writer, artist, and poet, often associated with the avant-garde and surrealist movements. He was known for his intense, experimental literary style and his profound interest in mystical and architectural subjects. His work frequently intersected with art history and the creation of unique aesthetic objects. He was a significant figure in the 20th-century French cultural landscape, and his writings, including 'Sortilèges de Paris', reflect a unique synthesis of literary experimentation and visual documentation.[2,3]
