About This Item
Los Angeles:: Getty Research Institute,, (2016). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. The first comprehensive collection of Man Ray's writings to be published in English, including many published here for the first time: artists books, essays, letters, interviews and visual poems. Man Ray, a pioneer of the Dada movement and a central protagonist of Surrealism, was one of the best-known American artists of the twentieth century, celebrated for his innovative photography. "In tone the book strikes the perfect balance between offering intriguing archival material for the art historian and ready accessibility for the casual reader. The project has been assiduously researched by Mundy, where each chronological section, and most of the individual entries, are given substantial biographical and historical context. Mundy also offers a highly informative preface regarding the books genesis, and a rich biographical introduction to Man Ray, providing academic digression for the scholar and factual clarification for anyone turning to the topic for the first time." (Burlington Magazine) Frontispiece and internal illustrations. Index. A large heavy octavo. xv, 455 pp.
