Man Ray
Photography
Born to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents and raised in Brooklyn, Man Ray (1890–1976) is best known for his striking photographs of the interwar period, which deliberately juxtaposed various elements to generate thought-provoking meaning. A painter, filmmaker, sculptor, and poet as well, the artist was also a commercial photographer for Vogue and Vanity Fair.
