This work was displayed in the exhibition titled, 'Views of the Spirit', which was first showcased in August 2014 at Mondo Galeria, Madrid. These works are a tantalising taste of Man Ray’s vast oeuvre. The photographs on display cut across the timeline of his prolific career while also providing an insight to his thematic engagements and photographic techniques.
Man Ray, while most certainly one of the central figures of the narratives of Dadaism
and Surrealism, was also the most significant documenter of these extraordinary
movements. His position at the helm of this creatively dynamic moment
in art history is made evident through the still lifes and portraits that find a place of prominence in this exhibition. The still lifes betray Man Ray’s unquestionable mastery over the Surrealist lexicon while the portraits capture a galaxy of 20th century zeitgeists including Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, Andre Breton and Coco Chanel. Man Ray’s portraits of his assistant and muse – the scintillating Lee Miller, are a study in art direction as well as a testament to his particular eye for the female form.
