Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Man Ray, born
Emmanuel Radnitzky, 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. He is noted for his
photograms, which he renamed "rayographs" after himself.
