| Man Ray |
| Man Ray (August 27, 1890–November 18, 1976) was an American artist who spent most of his career in Paris, France. Perhaps best described
simply as a modernist, he was a significant contributor to both the Dada and Surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. Best
known in the art world for his avant-garde photography, Man Ray produced major works in a variety of media and considered himself a painter above
all. He was also a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. |
