Man Ray Photographs
In their book, “The Photobook: A History”, Martin Parr and Gerry Badger make the claim that photographs contained in “Man Ray Photographs 1920-1934 Paris” are “regarded by some as amongst the greatest of the twentieth century.”
The book includes 104 images. Eighty-four of them are black and white photographs, most of them full page. They run the gamut of Rays work from portraits, to common objects in unusual settings and include 19 of his “rayographs.”
