Man Ray, was born towards the end of the 18th Century and was an American modernist who lived in France. His early career was spent creating surrealist paintings, however later on he developed photography as a new expressive platform for his art. He explored many things including film, sculpture and collages during his life, and ventured into what is now known as performance art and conceptual art. His work covered many mediums, yet his avant-garde photography is what he became most notable for, and the Man Ray Exhibition London aims to bring forward this aspect of his talents.
During his lifetime, Man Ray’s work was never recognised, yet in the decades since his passing his popularity has grown. The Man Ray Exhibition London demonstrates the artist’s impressive work and hope to highlight his significance to the world of art and photography. Make sure you don't miss out!
