Never framed, never exposed. - Man Ray, born Emmanuel Radnitzky in 1890 in Philadelphia, was a prominent figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements. He moved to Paris in the 1920s, where he established himself as a key figure in both the avant-garde art and photography scenes. Man Ray's work is renowned for its innovation and mastery across various mediums, including photography, painting, and film. His artistic contributions include pioneering techniques such as rayographs (camera-less photographs) and solarization, which altered the visual qualities of his images and added a surreal, dream-like aura. Man Ray's photography, often focused on the human form and abstract compositions, has been highly influential. One of his most famous works, "Noire et Blanche" (1926), features a woman with her face juxtaposed against an African mask. This striking black-and-white photograph is a notable example of his exploration of identity and the contrast between different cultural symbols. The value of Man Ray's works has appreciated significantly over time. His photographs and art pieces fetch high prices at auctions and are held in major collections worldwide, reflecting his enduring impact on both art and photography.
