Description
This revolutionary analysis highlights a selected set of photographs by Man Ray, in a context of history of modern photography, and “discovery” of Africa by the avant-garde of the early twentieth century. Featuring over seventy photographs by Man Ray-some of them played for the very first time- alongside rarely shown photographs of African art, made by its European and American contemporaries. Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens reveals a virtually unknown chapter, both activities full of inventiveness of this famous artist, but also of this neglected facet of the photographic history.
