Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Man Ray, a photographer/object-maker/collagist unsatisfied with mastery of just a few mediums, struggled with painting and was shunned by the art world after his 1940s foray into Hollywood filmmaking. PW called this "a model biography--judicious, compulsively readable, rooting its subject in his cultural milieu . . . a remarkable bit of sleuthing." Photos.
Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From School Library Journal
YA-- Man Ray is an emminent figure in 20th-Century modernism, especially photography and photographic techniques. Baldwin, who had access to the artist's private papers and the cooperation of his family, took five years in putting together this comprehensive biography, which is copiously illustrated with photographs. The scholarly style and length of the book may intimidate some readers, but art and photography students will especially appreciate this insightful biography for research or for perusal.
