Kleber Claux

Kleber Claux (22 March 1893 – 9 June 1971) was a leading anarchist in the early 20th century and a founder of the first naturist club in Australia.

Biography Born in Mogneville, France, Claux became a furniture maker before World War I, to which he was a conscientious objector. During the war, Claux escaped France and its conscription laws by moving to England on a false passport and living at Whiteway Colony, a Tolstoyan-communist anarchist project in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire. At Whiteway Claux gained an interest in nudity, sensible clothes and vegetarianism and met Molly (née Crick), who became his life partner.
