Man Ray “Untitled” (1971) from “On the Origin of Species by Irrational Selection”, lithograph

Man Ray, born in Philadelphia in 1890, is a central figure in modern art and photography, known for his avant-garde approach and innovative techniques. His move to Paris in the 1920s solidified his role in the avant-garde scene, where he created numerous important works, including "Le Violon d'Ingres" and the sculpture "Gift." His unique photograms, which he called Rayographs, demonstrate his capacity for innovation and the fusion of photography and painting. Man Ray's pioneering spirit makes his artworks valuable complementary pieces for collectors, as they are not only aesthetic objects but also represent significant milestones in artistic expression and the development of Surrealism.
