The volume brings together a selection of Man Ray's photographs, paintings and objects, accompanied by a text by Janus on his career.

For those interested in artistic photography and historical avant-gardes such as Dadaism and Surrealism.
Man Ray was an American-born, French-naturalized visual artist who spent most of his career in Paris. He was a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. He produced major works in a variety of media but considered himself a painter above all. He was a photography innovator as well as a fashion and portrait photographer, and is noted for his work with photograms, which he called "rayographs" in reference to himself.
