Man Ray Photography and Its Double

Recognized as the most original photographer of the 20th century, Man Ray delighted the avant-garde of the 1920s and 1930s with daring, creative experimentation. He was the first Surrealist photographer, a gifted rebel with an incisive eye and a passion for freedom and pleasure. This outstanding monograph sheds new light on Man Ray's photographic genius - incredibly, around one third of these images have never before been published. Visually spectacular and intellectually stimulating it shatters the myth - cultivated by Man Ray himself - that his photographic creativity resulted from timely mistakes and chance occurrences. Featured are many of his solarizations, rayographs, unconventional portraits and sensual nudes.de L'Ecotais, Emmanuelle is the author of 'Man Ray Photography and Its Double' with ISBN 9781584230762 and ISBN 1584230762.
