Synopsis

Experiments in photography: The artist who brought Surrealism to a new medium

 

Man Ray (1890-1976) is indisputably one of the most original artists of the 20th century. His revolutionary nude studies, fashion work, and portraits opened a new chapter in the history of photography. Born under the name of Emmanuel Radnitzky in Philadelphia, he began his artistic career in New York. In 1921 he moved to Paris, where he was enthusiastically welcomed into Dadaist and Surrealist circles. Man Ray experimented tirelessly with new photographic techniques, multiple exposure, rayography, and solarization being some of his most famous. Erotic, playful, and sometimes sinister, his compositions show unusual bodies and objects: strange, striking images that transform our perceptions of reality. This collection of famous, lesser known, and unknown works fully illustrates Man Ray’s singular visionary power.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Il volume è il catalogo della mostra di Roma (Galleria Il Segno 13 marzo - 15 maggio 2001) e di Ischia (Torre di Michelangelo, 2 giugno - 28 luglio 2001). Man Ray, affermatosi come il principale esponente del dadaismo americano, ha identificato nella fotografia il mezzo principale della sua ricerca, lo strumento capace di sconcertare lo sguardo in maniera semplice. I ritratti e le fotografie di moda raccolti in questo libro evidenziano l'originalità di Man Ray nello svelare le immagini del corpo, la sua costante ricerca di belle forme che siano contemporaneamente espressione intelligente della capacità di stimolare il pensiero. Mai frivole o banali, le fotografie di Man Ray, al pari dei suoi oggetti dilettano, disturbano, disorientano e fanno riflettere.
