This monograph is dedicated to Man Ray, an influential artist known for his photography, paintings, and experimental films. The catalog showcases over 200 works, aligning them with biographical details across three phases: his formative years in New York and Ridgefield, the Paris period, and his time between Hollywood and Paris. The book explores the inspiration behind his renowned pieces, notably female motifs, and his significant relationships. It delves into recurring themes like chess, reality versus illusion, and experimental media. It also contrasts his work with 20th-century luminaries such as Picasso, Duchamp, and Brancusi.
