Man Ray

Man Ray was born on August 27th 1890 and died on the November 18th 1976.

He was an American modernist he spent most of his life in Paris, Paris played a huge part in his work. Also his worked was highly influenced by the dada and surrealism period.

His worked ranged from painting to printing to photography but he was best known for photography. He was renowned for for being a fashion and potrait photgrapher. Also noted for photograms he called them "rayograph"

 

I absolutely love his photograms as they are very different from each other. Also they all stand out and catch your eye due to the contrast.

The camera photogram is my favourite one as it shows pictures on the film also the layout makes it more interesting! Also creates a sense of movement

This is a photogram that Man Ray created, I think this is rather interesting as the layout makes it more interesting also the tonal colours are very nice. Maybe this was a running theme as Moholy-Nagy produced a similar piece to this.

This is another example of Man Ray's photogram, I love the lay out of this one with all the different objects.
