In this remarkable autobiography, Man 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, when any trip to the city 'was not complete until they had been "done" by Man Ray's camera'. Friend to everyone who was anyone, Ray tells everything he knows of artists, socialites and writers such as Matisse, Hemingway, Picasso and Joyce, not to mention Lee Miller, Nancy Cunard, Alberto Giacometti, Gertrude Stein, Dali, Max Ernst and many more, in this decadent, sensational account of the early twentieth-century cultural world.

A collection of provocative quotations from the innovative and influential modern artist Man RayThe painter, photographer, sculptor, and filmmaker Man Ray (1890–1976) was one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century and was responsible for some of its most important innovations. With a career spanning Cubism, Dadaism, and Surrealism, he pioneered the use of light painting, photograms (which he called “Rayograms”), and solarization. Man Ray-isms presents a collection of his quotations drawn from interviews, writings, letters, and other sources. Poetic, enigmatic, and provocative, Man Ray-isms offers rare insight into the mind of one of the most original and visionary modern artists.“It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.”“A creator needs only one enthusiast to justify him.”“I paint what cannot be photographed, that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive.”“I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.”“One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.”“I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.”

A visionary and multifaceted artist, Man Ray is a leading figure in 20th-century art history. Photographer, painter, draftsman, filmmaker, and object-maker defined by rare creative freedom, he turned every medium into a field of experimentation.Born Emmanuel Radnitzky in Philadelphia in 1890, he soon immersed himself in New York’s avant-garde scene, where he met and formed a close bond with Marcel Duchamp, eventually joining him in Paris in 1921. There, he became a key player in the Dada, then Surrealist movements. He revolutionised photography, elevating it to a full-fledged art form, with iconic works like Le Violon d’Ingres and Noire et blanche. The formal audacity and poetic visual language he brought to fashion photography continue to inspire creatives to this day. A tireless experimenter, he invented “rayographs”, rediscovered solarisation and as an avant-garde filmmaker he transformed the image into pure sensation.Man Ray embodies the free, transgressive, and elusive artist. His body of work, imbued with humour, strangeness, and eroticism, defies categorisation and celebrates the power of imagination.Includes texts by: Robert Rocca, Pierre-Yves Butzbach, Raffaella Perna.Text in English and Italian.
