Who is Man Ray?
Man Ray, was man with many talents: photography, painting, film-making, and maybe more. It was said that he played a significant role in the evaluation of photography in an art form. Like Lee Friedlander, man Ray specifically works in black and white photographs.
Surprisingly, Ray has worked in photogram. To me photogram isn't hard but can be very interesting with the objects and pieces that can be used to make the photo. Because I have worked on a photo like this I kind of feel more closer to the photography because we have done similar work. Looking at the image below, it looks like he used his hand, an ash tray, cigarettes, and maybe two eggs. That is just my guest but knowing that anything can be made into a photogram really makes me like this.
As previously mentioned in another blog, I stated that I did not like the black and white work Friedlander photographed but looking at ray's work, specifically the image below I actually love it. The details in this image is spectacular. the way you can tell that this woman has on mascara and that we can see everything in her ears really impresses me. I am curious to know how the translucent circle tears were made. I want to know how they were able to be placed and remain there while looking at this photograph.
