Man Ray was one of those American artists who move to Paris
in the early twenties to find inspiration and different ways of expression.
Shortly he became part of the Dada movement where the surrealism and modernism
was merged with photography.
He is well known for his portraits of many artists like Gertrude
Stein, Picasso or Breton. He also took photographies of his lovers, muses and wives;
he loved the shape of women’s body. Kiki de Montparnasse or Lee Miller were
some of his models.
If you live in Edinburgh and want to see his photography, you
still have time. The exhibition ends next week, so hurry up. If you are going, pay attention to
his portraits their models never smile but their eyes mean worth a thousand
words.
