A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

In 1918, Man Ray scandalized the art world when he created his first readymade sculptures: an egg beater and an assemblage of metal light reflectors and clothes pins, which he presented as photographs entitled Man and Woman. In 2005 Sherrie Levine re-photographed Man Ray's Man and Woman pho- tos, called them her own art works, and re-scandalized the art world of a new millennium. At the beginning of the 20th century, as a vocabulary of abstraction was being developed, Man Ray produced a new order of images using the new me- dium of photography, and challenged the world to accept them as art.
"...isn't it amazing that some painters still persist, a century after the invention of photography, in doing what a Kodak can do faster and better?"
Forty years later, when minimal abstract art dominated the art world, Sherrie Levine "began to use photography as a way of introducing representational imagery" back into art. Man Ray's career was drawing to a close just as Levine's career was beginning, but a lively dialogue between this Man (Ray) and Woman (Levine) exists through the sensibilities they share in their
relationships with objects, images, and ideas.
