Happy Heavenly Birthday to Man Ray (1890-1976), the pioneer of visual art and “found objects.” He was born in American but spent most of his career in Paris, becoming an informal contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements surrounding him. His career intersected with Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, and a hit list of actors, artists, dancers, filmmakers, and musicians. Despite Ray tagging himself as “just a painter,” he produced major works in a variety of media and is best known for his pioneering photography—specially fashion and portrait photography. He is also noted for his work with photograms (photographic images made not with a camera but with light exposure) which he called “Rayographs.” In the 1920s he directed and appeared in a number of avant-garde films, including the 1924 urban fantasy ENTR’ACTE (directed by René Clair). Ray appears with Frances Picabia, playing chess on a chessboard that transforms into a city center with busses and cars. I used this scene in a video for my song “It’s In Your Hands,” with music that quotes heavily from Erik Satie (who also appeared in ENTR’ACTE). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxReq4Xr-U8 Meanwhile, thank you Man for getting us to see the art in everything.

‼️💥 rayographs💥‼️

Process below‼️💥

• Objects are placed on top of light sensitive paper

• they are then exposed to light in a darkroom

• then the objects can be removed and the photo can be developed in the darkroom (developer/stop bath/fixer)

Then scan the physical image to create a digital version

Man Ray - Le Retour à la Raison (1923)

Man Ray, born Emmanuel Radnitzky in 1890 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was a renowned representative of avant-garde photography in the 20th century and is considered as the pioneer of Surrealist photography. Ray's artistic work is very diverse. He was a painter, object artist, and a film maker. He was the very first artist whose images were more valuable to collectors than his artistic work. He therefore made a significant contribution to the evaluation of photography as a form of art.

My work is a way of looking through the symbolic manifestations of nature, revealing energy

rather than matter.

In the dark room, I find a physical/mental space where I reveal images that are far from the

the condemnation of the exact description of the tangible; pictures that emerge in the light of play, research, intuition

intuition, collage; capturing shadows instead of matter, allowing us to make visible in

the world of energies that interact with the physical dimension and fantasy.

The photography without camera allows me to have a durable vision of the world, by exempting me from the rules of the progress

digital progress.

"大自然不會創造藝術品。 看到藝術的是我們以及人類大腦特有的詮釋能力。

NATURE DOES NOT CREATE WORKS OF ART. IT IS WE, AND THE FACULTY OF INTERPRETATION PECULIAR TO THE HUMAN MIND, THAT SEE ART."

－ MAN RAY (American, 1890-1976) He was an American visual artist who spent most of his career in Paris. He was a significant contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. He produced major works in a variety of media but considered himself a painter above all. He was best known for his pioneering photography, and was a renowned fashion and portrait photographer. He is also noted for his work with photograms, which he called "rayographs" in reference to himself.
