Ray, Man: Man Ray. Trees + Flowers - Insects Animals. ; 1. Ed.
Steidl, Göttingen, 2009. First edition, first printing. New, mint, unread; still originally shrink-wrapped in publisher's plastic foil. Hardback with dustjacket. 370 pages. 220 mm x 260 mm. 320 drawings and photographs throughout. Edited and with a preface by John P. Jacob. Introduction by a Merry A. Foresta. Text in english. "Locked in enormous bank vaults and largely removed from public scrutiny for more than a decade, the little known collection of the Man Ray Trust comprises more than 4,000 works by Man Ray. The 320 photographs and drawings selected for this publication are among the rarest of Man Ray's works, and will be a revelation to even his most devoted admirers. At the core of Man Ray: Trees + Flowers - Insects Animals is a series of landscape photographs made by Man Ray from the 1920s through the 1950s, many of which bear the distinct influence of Eugene Atget. With subjects including castles and ruined buildings, street scenes, and the objects from which he drew inspiration for other artworks, the photographs and drawings in this book represent an intermediary step in Man Ray's creative process. The title of the series, Trees + Flowers - Insects Animals, was discovered by the editor scrawled across the backside of a photograph, and provides a key to this most unusual collection. These photographs function as a subject index to the themes and motifs that Man Ray employed in his better known works. They are, on the one hand, a record of his travels and observations in Europe and the United States. On the other hand, they are the relic of a moment preserved by Man Ray for later use and interpretation." (from the publisher) "Man Ray was born Emmanuel Radnitzky in Philadelphia, 1890. He spent most of his working life in Paris, and he was a significant contributor to both Dadaism and Surrealism, though his ties to both were informal. Best known as a photographer, Man Ray produced major works in a variety of media and considered himself a painter above all. Man Ray died in 1976. While appreciation for his work beyond photography was slow in coming during his lifetime, especially in the United States, Man Ray's reputation has grown steadily in the decades since. In 1999, ArtNews magazine named Man Ray one of the 25 most influential artists of the 20th century, citing his groundbreaking photography as well as his explorations of film, painting, sculpture, collage, assemblage, and prototypes of what would eventually be called performance art and conceptual art." (by the publisher)***************Steidl, Göttingen, 2009. Erstausgabe. Originalausgabe. Neu, ungelesen, verlagsfrisch; noch original-verschweißt in der Plastikfolie des Verlags. Hardback mit Original-Schutzumschlag. 220 mm x 260 mm. 370 Seiten. 320 Abbildungen. Herausgegeben von John P. Jacob. Mit einer Einleitung von Merry A. Foresta. Text in englischer Sprache. Der Man Ray Trust, der mehr als 4.000 Werke des legendären Fotografen beherbergt, hat seine Sammlung für mehr als zehn Jahre vor der Öffentlichkeit verschlossen. So werden die 320 seltenen Fotografien und Zeichnungen in diesem Band zum ersten Mal präsentiert. Im Kern der Publikation steht eine Reihe von Landschaftsaufnahmen, die zwischen den 1920ern und 1950ern entstanden sind. In ihnen wird der immense Einfluss, den Eugene Atget auf Man Rays frühe Werke ausübte, mehr als deutlich. Die Bilder von Burgen, Ruinen, Straßenszenen und Objekten entstanden zu einem Zeitpunkt, an dem sich Man Ray künstlerisch emanzipierte. Dieser kreative Prozess lässt sich anhand der hier gezeigten Fotografien verfolgen.

Man Ray. Self Portrait. With an Afterword by Juliet Man Ray. Foreword by Merry A. Foresta. London, Bloomsbury, 1988. ISBN: 0747501572
This autobiography of Man Ray, photographer, painter and maker of objects and films, follows his life from his birth in Philadelphia in 1890 to his death in Paris in 1976. He knew the world of Greenwich Village in the avant-garde era following the 1913 Armory Show; Paris in the 1920s and 1930s, where he played a key role in the Dada and Surrealist movements; Hollywood in the 1940s, when compelled by war to flee Europe, and Paris where he lived from 1951 until his death. The book is illustrated with many previously unpublished works of art, photographs and negatives made available by Man Ray's wife, Juliet, who writes the afterword to the book. Man Ray describes his friendships with, among others, Marcel Duchamp, Picasso and Dali and the women in his life, including Kiki de Montparnasse and Lee Miller and his wife. Man Ray's autobiography offers a view of the New York painting scene of pre-World War I, moves on in 1921, (he landed at Le Havre auspiciously on July 14) to Paris and its turbulent creativity. As a very young man who gave up an architecture scholarship to work and paint because he considered the painting of a picture the acme of human accomplishment ("Even today the conviction still persists"). Man Ray know Alfred Stieglitz at "291", Robert Henri and Georg Bellows at the Ferrer Center and Katharine Dreier of Societe Anonyme. His account of simultaneous involvement in the art world and disengagement in the social sphere is as honest an appraisal of the artist's way of being as any. Man Ray first started photographing by reproducing his paintings. In Paris, he became the official recorder of events and personalities - and here are numerous single exposures of greats of the aristocracy, writers, painters - Lady Cunard, Gertrude Stein, Hemingway, Pound, Joyce, Picabia, Brancusi, Matisse, Braque, etc., etc. The relationship with others, in particular Duchamp, was deeper and more extended...But what we really have here is a view of the Dada, Surrealist and to a lesser extent, because he was not involved, the Cubist movement in Paris' fever pitch of productivity. Man Ray came to Hollywood in the forties, having left occupied France as an American citizen, knew Henry Miller and others. His life of maximum contact in dense centers of art activity has quick recognition value. (Kirkus Reviews)
