"While I love to read about Man Ray's life, I'm not a huge fan of his photographs. Having said that, I do harbour a lot of respect and admiration for the innovations he brought to the photographic world as he developed his own methods of surrealist expression. Perhaps I admire his body of work as a whole because I relate to the Dadaist attitudes that were so woven into his life (even though my own creative manifestation heavily remains in paintings).
It's a shame that Berenice Abbott didn't take more from the Man Ray book when she was working as his assistant, because I think the blend of the two would have created some wonderful images indeed."
"Emmanuel Rudnistsky, as Man Ray, is a major American artist of the twentieth century. He was a signifiant contributor to both "The Dada and Surrealist movement".
He argued that the painting he used to fix the images aware of the reality and that the photography is a mode of fantastic expression.
Man Ray produced major works in a variety of media and considered himself a painter above all. He was also a renowned portrait photographer.
Man Ray was all daring and put technology for a permanent inventiveness."
