MAGIC - Man Ray
Magie presents over 100 images documenting Man Ray's activity between 1920 and 1950. It includes fashion photography, advertising and portraiture, showing his originality in revealing images of the body and his constant search for beautiful forms. A unique volume that presents images now considered icons of the last century, as a visual testimony to the atmospheres of Paris and New York and the artistic avant-garde period; a collection of photographs that testifies to the technical eclecticism of Man Ray's art which, as Valerio Dehò explains in his introductory text: "remains absolutely indefinable and cannot be classified in any particular avant-garde movement. He eschews all techniques and all poetics, remaining ultimately faithful only to himself and his search for an art that is intimately wonder, irony and play. Man Ray (Philadelphia 1890 - Paris 1976) is known not only as one of the most colorful and productive figures of Dadaism and Surrealism, but also as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. He is credited with elevating photography to the status of an art form.
