2011rif. 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 .

Man Ray's album was a virtuoso presentation of modern European-style photography. Close-up views distorted angles double exposures night photography negative prints rayographs still lifes nudes portraits fashion photographs and even a painting. were reproduced. Intended for an American more than a European audience the album was Man Ray's means of presenting his career to a homeland that had rarely seen his work."
