Close-Up Photographs by Man Ray - 105 Works, 1920-1934 More Books Man Ray Tears Artistamps Man Ray Hand to Mouth Postcard Man Ray (1890-1976), American photographer, painter, designer, sculptor and filmmaker, arrived in Paris in 1921. Inspired by a unique artistic vision grounded in the deliberate irrationality of Dada and the incongruous visions of surrealism. Ray created a gallery of striking photographs; unforgettable images that etched themselves into the mind and transformed our perceptions of reality. This beautiful large-format volume reproduces on coated stock a rich selection of these works, created amid the intellectual and artistic ferment of the the 20s and 30s. To achieve his remarkable effects, Ray experimented with various techniques: over and under exposure, shooting through different fabrics, superimposing images, and zeroing in on tiny details. In his words: the removal of inculcated modes of presentation, resulting in apparent artificiality or strangeness...is to be welcomed. To preserve the full dramatic impact of his ground-breaking work, the editor of this edition has carefully and painstakingly reproduced these photographs from a rare gravure edition. The photographs are divided into five groupings: photos 1-24: general subjects (still lifes, rooms, landscapes, cityscapes, flowers) photos 25-42: female figure, mainly nudes photos 43-66: women's faces (including Gertrude Stein) photos 67-84: celebrity portraits (Ray, Dalí, Tzara, Sinclair Lewis, Joyce, Eluard, Brenton, Derain, Braque, Matisse, Picasso and others) photos 85-104: rayographs, "cameraless compositions" created by resting objects on unexposed film Also included in this edition are acclamatory texts by Eluard, Brenton and Tzara in original French with English translations, a German text by Rrose Sélavy (pseudonymous) with English translation; an introduction by Ray with French translation and a portrait of Ray by Picasso. Today, Ray's individual photographs command high prices on the collector's market. Indeed, the original edition of this book sells for US$350.00. The publication of this inexpensive edition thus allows photographers, artists, designers and students of art and photography an unparallelled opportunity to savor and study these iconoclastic masterpieces. Most of the photos are full page, or nearly so, and reveal the profoundly original vision of a man for the violation of convention was: far preferable to the monstrous habits condoned by etiquette and aestheticism. This large paperbound edition measures 9-3/8 by 12-1/4 inches with 128 pages, 150 photographs.
