American, 1890-1976 A tireless experimenter with photographic techniques who participated in the Cubist, Dadaist, and Surrealist art movements, Man Ray created a new photographic art which emphasized chance effects and surprising juxtapositions. Unconcerned with "Craft," he employed solarization, grain enlargement, and cameraless prints (photograms) which he called "Rayographs" - made by placing objects directly on photographic paper and exposing them to the light. Man Ray was, with Moholy-Nagy, the most significant maker of cameraless photographs in the 1920s and 1930s. Tribal artefacts from the collection of Nancy Cunard, early 1930's. Comprising a study of tribal bracelets and a Benin head, silver print, inscribed in pencil on the reverse 'Cunard'. Size: 238x178mm
