Arthur Cravan
Arthur Cravan, born Fabien Avenarius Lloyd in 1887 in Switzerland, was a notable figure in early 20th-century European avant-garde art and literature. He was the nephew of Oscar Wilde and is remembered for his eccentric personality and bohemian lifestyle. Cravan was a poet and self-proclaimed boxer who famously claimed to be the European champion, despite only having a few amateur fights. His life was marked by a series of enigmatic adventures, including his attempt to evade conscription during World War I, which involved swimming to Spain and later fighting the heavyweight champion Jack Johnson in Barcelona. After losing the fight, he traveled to the United States and engaged in a tumultuous correspondence with his wife, Mina Loy, revealing his toxic love and obsession with her. His mysterious disappearance in the Gulf of Mexico further adds to the myths surrounding his life, leaving a legacy that blends art, love, and tragedy.
