Astounding Experimentalism Photagraphy
Some photograhers see a pose and snap it as a statue. Man Ray envisoned etheral impressions through his works. I discovered this beautiful book of 300 duotone photos at a quaint little shoppe by the University. Don't you just love to happen upon old books unmasking new treasures? Me too.

MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT
Man Ray is a pioneer in photography and surrealism,but this book is a major disappointment.The choice of works selected are not his best and the quality of the photographs is extremely poor.At this price I expected something much better.

Astounding Experimentalism Photagraphy,
This review is from: Man Ray, 1890-1976 (Hardcover)
Some photograhers see a pose and snap it as a statue. Man Ray envisoned etheral impressions through his works. I discovered this beautiful book of 300 duotone photos at a quaint little shoppe by the University. Don't you just love to happen upon old books unmasking new treasures? Me too. And I will definately be seeking out more regarding Man Ray's career as a commercial artist, photographer, and as a colleague of Marcel Duchamp and the New York Dadaists.These poses, these works of art, through Ray's impeccably searching eyes, have a quality of hallowedness. An American, he had moved to Paris in 1921 and quickly became one of the most celebrated experimentalists of his era. Fascinatingly, he used a simple yet efective innovation of solaraization, which bestowed a ghostly silver aura upon his posers. Just truly remarkable! Classic images of Salvador Dali, Breton, Yves Tanguy, Jean Cocteau, and even Gertrude Stein are among this embodiment. Also his creative assembled objects and a selection of fashion spreads for Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar. A truly gorgeous photograpy book to be lost in. Thank you for your interest & comment votes--CDS
