Man Ray born Emmanuel Radnitzky 1890-1976 American painter photographer and conceptual artist active in France a leading light of the Dada and Surrealist movement. Jess McKinley's obituary in the New York Times offers a brilliant look back at Goodman's career: 'In an era when movies like 'Sweet Smell of Success' made Broadway seem like the most glamorous and gritty terrain in entertainment Mr. Goodman was as reliable a presence as broken hearts and dreams come true. From 1939 when he started his career to 1961 Mr. Goodman represented more than 50 Broadway productions including eight shows in 1960 alone. Over the years Mr. Goodman would act as a booster and sometimes as a baby sitter for every type of show person and show personality from the volatile genius Jerome Robbins of 'Gypsy' to the delicate ingénue Audrey Hepburn in 'Gigi' in 1951 to the predictably haunted playwrights William Inge and Clifford Odets among others. Summing up his career in his unpublished memoir Mr. Goodman started with an adage about the publicity game: 'You don't get paid for the work you do; you get paid for the grief you take.' Mr. Goodman seemed to believe that but only to a point. 'Still and all' he wrote 'there's worse ways to make a living'.'B/w Illustrations. Atlantic Monthly / Little Brown hardcover

In 1931 the Paris electric company CPDE commissioned Man Ray to produce a series of images promoting the various uses of electricity. The resulting portfolio of ten Rayogrammes was issued in 500 copies which were distributed to the CPDE's best and prospective clients and not commercially offered for sale. The photogravure prints made from original Rayograms are titled: Electricité La Ville Salle de Bain La Maison Lingerie Salle a Manger Cuisine Le Souffle Electricité Le Monde. In 2014 the Metropolitan Museum of Art Curator in Charge Department of Photographs Jeff R. Rosenheim stated: "This remarkably seductive album of photogravures is an exquisite example of his legacy as America's greatest Surrealist photographer." "Man Ray's ÉLECTRICITÉ is not only one of the most ravishing and sought-after of company photobooks but it contains a cogent suite of photographs that the leading American Dadaist and commercial photographer himself never bettered."
