Recensioner i media

'Artist Man Ray combined flashes of inspiration with methodical application. No wonder that he was drawn to the game of chess, which demands both. It was Larry List's inspired idea to investigate the chess-related aspects of Man Ray's multifaceted career, and he has plumbed the subject with a thoroughness worthy of the master, giving us many enlightening—and entertaining—insights.' - ARTHUR LUBOW, contributor to the New York Times and the New Yorker, author of Man Ray: The Artist and His Shadows
