Man Ray (1890-1976) was a pioneer. With his conceptual approach and innovative techniques, he liberated photography from the steadfast orthodoxies by which it had been bound and opened the floodgates to new ways of thinking about the medium. Focusing on his studio and portrait work in the interwar years, this book showcases Man Ray's radical photographic experiments as well as offering a dazzling who's who of Paris's avant-garde. Underscoring the profound impact Man Ray wielded on the history of photography, it is a testament to his enduring legacy.
