A close look at Man Ray's interwar portraiture, as well as the
friendships between the photographer and his subjects: the
international avant garde in Paris Shortly after his arrival in
Paris in July 1921, Man Ray (1890-1976)-the pseudonym of Emmanuel
Radnitzky-embarked on a sustained campaign to document the city's
international avant-garde in a series of remarkable portraits that
established his reputation as one of the leading photographers of
his era. Man Ray's subjects included cultural luminaries such as
Berenice Abbott, Andre Breton, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp, Ernest
Hemingway, Miriam Hopkins, Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, Lee Miller,
Meret Oppenheim, Pablo Picasso, Alice Prin (Kiki de Montparnasse),
Elsa Schiaparelli, Erik Satie, and Gertrude Stein. As this lavishly
illustrated publication demonstrates, Man Ray's portraits went
beyond recording the mere outward appearance of the person depicted
and aimed instead to capture the essence of his sitters as creative
individuals, as well as the collective nature and character of Les
Annees folles (the crazy years) of Paris between the two world
wars, when the city became famous the world over as a powerful and
evocative symbol of artistic freedom and daring experimentation.
