| Summary: | "Photographer, painter, filmmaker, and writer, Man Ray captured the multimedia spirit of this century. His chosen role of outsider, as an American in Paris, straddling the worlds of art and photography, iconoclasm and calculated composition, American pragmatism and European elegance, confers on his work a timeless and provocative appeal. With duotone reproductions of more than 300 photographs, paintings, collages, drawings, objects and a wide range of graphic work and documents, this compelling book presents an unprecedented view of a stimulating body of work. Included here are Man Ray's portraits of Breton, Yves Tanguy, Jean Cocteau, Lee Miller, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, and Gertrude Stein, now classic images that embody the idea of the creative persona. Here too are his endlessly inventive assembled objects and a selection of his striking fashion spreads for Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar, as well as his notorious photograph Le Violon d'Ingres, and Noire et Blanche..."--book jacket. |
