Published in connection with an exhibition opening at Photo Elys\u00e9e in spring 2024, this book presents more than one hundred and fifty of Man Ray’s portraits, primarily from the 1920s and ’30s.
\nMan Ray (1890\u20131976) 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.
\nA close friend of Marcel Duchamp and Andr\u00e9 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’s Violin\u2015a photograph from 1924 that broke records when it was sold for $12.4 million in 2022\u2015Man Ray remains an influential figure in the worlds of art, fashion, and pop culture, with many other artists referencing his work.
\nPublished in connection with an exhibition at Photo Elys\u00e9e and in the centennial year of the publication of Andr\u00e9 Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto, Man Ray presents more than one hundred and fifty of Man Ray\u2019s portraits, primarily from the 1920s and ’30s. It includes portraits of the leading lights of the Paris art scene, among them Marcel Duchamp, Robert Delaunay, Georges Braque, Alberto Giacometti, and Pablo Picasso, as well as a selection of his fashion work. As an innovator of photographic techniques and compositional form, Man Ray found the studio portrait\u2015be it of the artists and writers with whom he had longstanding friendships or of the objects and sculptures he collected\u2015to be the playground in which he could express the visual wit and experimentation for which he is renowned.<\/p>\n
