FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 328 pages; 369 illustrations including 149 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; An exciting monograph dedicated to an extraordinary figure and one of last century’s most famous and influential artists. 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 .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 370 pages; 320 drawings and photographs. Description: "ocked in enormous bank vaults and largely removed from public scrutiny for more than a decade the little known collection of the Man Ray Trust comprises more than 4000 works by Man Ray. The 320 photographs and drawings selected for this publication are among the rarest of Man Ray’s works and will be a revelation to even his most devoted admirers. At the core of Man Ray: Trees Flowers – Insects Animals is a series of landscape photographs made by Man Ray from the 1920s through the 1950s many of which bear the distinct influence of Eugène Atget. With subjects including castles and ruined buildings street scenes and the objects from which he drew inspiration for other artworks the photographs and drawings in this book represent an intermediary step in Man Ray’s creative process. 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.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 256 pages; 241 illustrations. -- with a bonus offer--; Born Emmanuel Radnitzky the artist known as Man Ray 18901976 revealed multiple artistic identities over the course of his careerNew York Dadaist Parisian Surrealist international portraitist and fashion photographerand produced important works as a photographer painter filmmaker writer and maker of objects. 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
2011ref. 94876Schirmer/Mosel. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 316 pages ; 522 illustrations including 30 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; When American-born Surrealist Man Ray died in 1976 he left behind thousands of photo negatives mostly portraits taken in his studio after his arrival in Paris in 1921. The Centre Georges Pompidou which has owned them since the mid-1990s has duly catalogued the collection of negatives and is now in a position to bring out what is an encyclopedic publication in the best sense of the term. It attests both to Man Ray s ability as a portrait photographer and to the quality of his archive as a monument to cultural history. The catalog features 500 portraits each of which is explained in a short commentary. Since Man Ray's clientele was made up of members of Dadaist and Surrealist circles of artists and painters of writers and US emigrants of the Lost Generation of aristocrats and paragons of the worlds of fashion and theater the book is at the same time a marvelous Who's Who and an indispensable reference work for a broad range of different historians and scholars of the 20th century. . 2011. 3829605404 .
