Man Ray: The Paris Years

Man Ray (1890-1976)

Synopsis

This book closely examines Man Ray's interwar portraiture, highlighting his relationships with the avant-garde figures of Paris between the world wars. Upon arriving in Paris in 1921, Man Ray, born Emmanuel Radnitzky, captured the essence of notable cultural figures such as Berenice Abbott, André Breton, and Pablo Picasso. His innovative portraits sought to convey the individuality and creative spirit of his subjects, reflecting the artistic freedom and experimental atmosphere of the "Les Années folles." The catalogue accompanies an exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, exhibiting these images from October 2021 to February 2022.
