Description
An exciting monograph dedicated to an extraordinary figure and one of last century's most famous and influential artists. Man Ray (1890-1976) was a photographer, painter, and creator of objects, experimental films and images which were at times enigmatic. This catalogue, which presents more than 200 works and compares and contrasts images with biographical details, enables the reader to grasp the creative process involved in each work and reveals the mechanisms and motivating sources of the artist's inexhaustible imagination.
