Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The perfect primer on the work of Man Ray, the Dadaist and pioneer of Surrealism. One of the most famous artists of the 20th century, a Dadaist and pioneer of Surrealism, Man Ray (1890-1976) became involved with photography in 1914. He was soon experimenting with different processes - solarization, negative images, multiple exposures - and in 1921 he created the 'rayograph' by exposing objects placed on to photosensitive material. This book collects together over 60 examples of his experimental work as well as portraits of some of the most important figures in modern art, including Brancusi, Breton, Giacometti and Max Ernst. The Photofile Series Photofile brings together the best work of the world's greatest photographers in an attractive, accessible, pocket-sized format. Handsome and collectable, the books are printed to the highest standards. Each one contains over sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.
