"Man Ray" (Stern Portfolio No. 35) is a collection of works by American-born photographer Man Ray (1890–1976). Active within the Dada and Surrealist movements, Man Ray freely moved between photography, painting, and objets d'art. He fundamentally expanded the possibilities of photographic expression through chance and experimentalism. As exemplified by his "rayograph," which shone light directly onto photosensitive paper without a camera, his work presented photography as a creative space, utilizing light and shadow as its raw material rather than reproducing reality. This book features works primarily from the 1920s and 1930s, conveying his aesthetic, which lies between dream and reality, through still lifes, female figures, and self-portraits. Man Ray's spirit, which continually pursued the serendipitous beauty born between the act of photographing and the act of seeing, lives on in every page.
