MAN RAY

MAN RAY'S WORK
 
 
 
 
 
 
Man Ray was best known in the art world for his avant-garde photography. He is noted for his photograms, which he renamed “rayographs” after himself.
  • A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light.
  • The result is a negative shadow image varying in tone, depending on the transparency of the objects used.
  • Areas of the paper that have received no light appear white; those exposed through transparent or semi-transparent objects appear gray.
In 1999, ARTnews magazine named him one of the 25 most influential artists of the 20th century, citing his groundbreaking photography as well as “his explorations of film, painting, sculpture, collage, assemblage, and prototypes of what would eventually be called performance art and conceptual art“.
