Man Ray Livres

Der amerikanische Maler und Fotograf Emanuel Radinsky (1890 -1976), bekannt unter seinem Künstlernamen Man Ray, gilt als einer der kreativsten Künstler des 20 Jahrhunderts. Als Fotograf erreicht er Weltruhm und beeinflusst nachhaltig zeitgenössische wie nachfolgende Generationen von Fotografen. Seine Akt- und Porträtstudien galten lange Zeit als äußerst revolutionär und setzten neue Richtlinien in der modernen Fotografie. Der neue Man Ray Titel in unserer mid-size-Reihe, bereits als Jumbo verlegt und längst vergriffen, zeigt in einem kompakten Überblick das geniale Werk Man Rays und die große künstlerische Kraft und Magie dieses Fotografen.

Ce recueil est un modèle de complicité artistique, les deux auteurs engendrant une ouvre qui exige que les dessins de l'un et les poèmes de l'autre demeurent indissociables. Renversant l'ordre habituel des choses, Paul Éluard avait d'ailleurs tenu à préciser sur la page de titre du manuscrit de travail des Mains libres que c'était lui, le poète, qui avait «illustré» les dessins de Man Ray. En fait d'illustrations, les textes entrent plutôt en résonance intuitive avec les propositions graphiques : on dirait face à face des traits et des mots qui, tous, ont finalement fonction d'embarcadères et prennent un malin plaisir à jouer de l'égarement ou à décupler les destinations imprévues. Toutes les pages de ce livre témoignent d'une intuition active et partagée, toujours en mouvement, toujours éclairante. Deux artistes, avec leurs armes propres, y découvrent leur champ commun. Ils ont les mains libres, mais avec, en plus, le bonheur d'être ensemble.

Man Ray found the surreal in the commonplace, particularly in the female form, and this has made his photography some of the world's most accessible and his ubiquitous La Violin d'Ingres creates a cello from a woman's torso with the addition of curliqued vents inked on her sides; his classic image of shining cinematic tears glistening on a powdered cheek has been tucked into mirror frames all over the world. This collection of more than 130 pictures dated between 1920 and 1950 covers not only Ray's work as one of the world's leading avant-garde artists--he was a tireless experimenter who participated in the Cubist, Dadaist and Surrealist art movements--but also his commercial work. It includes fashion photography and advertising images; portraits of many artists, including Marcel Proust, Marcel Duchamp and Andre Breton; and a portfolio of 26 Femmes. Art dealer Giorgio Marconi, who met May Ray in 1966 in Milan, contributes an insightful interview.

Masterful collection of 60 works by a supreme artist with an unerring ability to capture his subject’s personality on film. Revealing portraits of Jean Cocteau, Salvador Dalí, Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso and many other luminaries. New English translations of Introduction and captions.

In this autobiography, May Ray - painter, photographer, sculptor, film maker and writer - relates the story of his life, from his childhood determination to be an artist and his technical drawing classes in a Brooklyn high school, to the glamorous and heady days of Paris in the 1940s and beyond.

“I do not photograph nature, I photograph my fantasy,” Man Ray proclaimed, and he found in the camera's eye and in light's magical chemistry the mechanisms for dreaming. Schooled as a painter and designer in New York, Man Ray turned to photography after discovering the 291 Gallery and its charismatic founder, Alfred Stieglitz. As a young expatriate in Paris during the twenties and thirties, Man Ray embraced Surrealism and Dadaism, creeds that emphasized chance effects, disjunction and surprise. Tireless experimentation with technique led him to employ solarization, grain enlargement, mixed media and cameraless prints (photograms)--which he called “Rayographs”. These successful manipulations for which he was dubbed “the poet of the darkroom” by Jean Cocteau, were a major contribution to twentieth-century photography. Man Ray presents 43 of the greatest images from the artist's career. The essay by Jed Perl describes the influences on Man Ray's career and his enduring contribution to photography.
