1988rif. 27284New York:: Abbeville Press 1988. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Amid the exuberant chaos of the Paris art scene between the world wars among the jarring factions of Dadaists Surrealists Futurists and miscellaneous others Philadelphia-born Man Ray was universally admired yet - it seemed - stubbornly mysterious. Although he looms large in today's standard art histories as a figure of unmistakable importance few people have seen more than a selection of his remarkable photographs or a handful of his enigmatic "objects". Indeed surprisingly little is known about this extraordinary and innovative creator of paintings collages drawings films aesthetic theory and autobiography - as well as photographs and objects. "Perpetual Motif: The Art of Man Ray" is the first major book on this mysterious and eclectic artist and his work" The Bloomsbury Review. It not only examines all aspects of the artist's production in all its forms but also discusses Man Ray's multifarious connections with the artistic and political radicals of pre-World War I New York the underground avant-garde as well as the haute monde of Paris between the wars and the emigre society of Hollywood after World War 11. Illustrated with nearly 300 of the artist's works in full colour and duotone many published for the first time. Abbeville Press, unknown

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 200 pages; 175 illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; This groundbreaking analysis spotlights a select group of Man Ray’s photographs within the context of modernist photographic history and the “discovery” of African art by the early twentieth-century avant-garde. Featuring more than seventy photographs by Man Ray—some never before reproduced—alongside many rarely seen photographs of African art by his European and American contemporaries Man Ray African Art and the Modernist Lens uncovers a virtually unknown chapter in both the inventive activities of this celebrated artist and in this overlooked facet of photographic history. Meticulously researched and compellingly presented Wendy A. Grossman raises thought-provoking questions about the role photographs played in shaping perceptions of African art and in turn how such images led to distinctive modernist viewpoints across racial and geographic boundaries. Particularly notable is the treatment of the African pieces both as integral components of the modernist history to which they contributed and as elucidated by original scholarship by African art experts as objects with their own independent cultural histories. Revealing a more complex engagement with African art by Man Ray and his contemporaries than has been previously known Grossman provides a rich and nuanced study that makes an important addition to our understanding of critical issues in modernism that continue to influence the way we see African art today. With an essay by Ian Walker and additional contributions by Yaëlle Biro Poul Mørk Rainer Stamm and Tomás Winter. Concordance of African objects edited by Letty Wilson Bonnell. . 2009. 081667017X .

Man Ray 1890-1976 was a photographer painter and creator of objects experimental films and images which were at times enigmatic. This catalog which presents more than 200 works and compares and contrasts images with biographical details is divided into three main sections: Man Ray’s formative years spent between New York and an artists’ colony in Ridgefield New Jersey; the Paris period; and the period spent between Hollywood and Paris France-the city he ultimately chose to adopt as his home. The publication describes the creation of some of his most famous pieces and the motifs-very often of females-that inspired the works. Man Ray’s life was marked by a succession of love affairs with famous and intriguing women and this catalog dedicates several sections to this topic. The book also deals with the themes permeating Man Ray’s work throughout the years such as his passion for chess the relationship between reality and illusion and experimental photography and film. Comparisons are also made with the works of some of the most important artists of the twentieth century such as Pablo Picasso Marcel Duchamp Constantin Brancusi Jean Arp and Francis Picabia. . 2011. 8857209741 .

The title of the series Trees Flowers – Insects Animals was discovered by the editor scrawled across the backside of a photograph and provides a key to this most unusual collection. These photographs function as a subject index to the themes and motifs that Man Ray employed in his better known works. They are on the one hand a record of his travels and observations in Europe and the United States. On the other hand they are the relic of a moment preserved by Man Ray for later use and interpretation." -- with a bonus offer--; New Edited and preface by John P. Jacob. Introduction by Merry A.

Alias Man Ray considers how the artist’s life and career were shaped by his turn-of-the-century American Jewish immigrant experience and his lifelong evasion of his past. As an exploration of the artist’s deliberate cultural ambiguity which allowed him to become the first American artist to be accepted by the Paris avant garde this book examines the dynamic connection between Man Ray’s working-class origins his assimilation the evolution of his art and his willful construction of his own artistic persona as evidenced in a series of subtle encrypted self-references throughout the artist’s career. Beautifully illustrated Alias Man Ray will stand as a definitive study of an incomparable figure in 20th-century art. . 2009. 0300146833 . Yale University Press hardcover
