This book delves into the extensive photographic work of Man Ray, whose career spanned over fifty years across two continents. It explores his early New York photographs from the 1910s, his prolific work in Paris during the 1920s, 30s, and 50s, and Hollywood images from the 40s. Despite his desire to be remembered as a painter, Man Ray innovated in photography with cameraless images and solarized portraits. The volume showcases over fifty images from the Getty Museum's collection of his works, offering commentary by Katherine Ware and includes an overview of his life and a symposium transcript.
