Description:
Published in connection with an exhibition opening at Photo Elysée in spring 2024, this book presents more than 150 of Man Ray's portraits, primarily from the 1920s and 30s.
Man Ray (1890-1976) was a man both of and ahead of his time. With his conceptual approach and innovative techniques, he liberated photography from previous constraints and opened the floodgates to new ways of thinking about the medium.
A close friend of Marcel Duchamp and André Breton, he was one of the few photographers to be mentioned among the Dada artists and Surrealists. He also worked as a fashion photographer, first for Vogue, and later for Harper's Bazaar and Vanity Fair. Renowned as the creator of Ingres' Violin - a photograph from 1924 that broke records when it was sold for $12.4 million in 2022 - Man Ray remains an influential figure in the worlds of art, fashion and pop culture, with many other artists referencing his work.
