is a very big, very big and very beautiful work, those that refer, on this album portraits by Man Ray at his two visits to Paris, before and after the Second World War.
I spent three hours with him at the library, without noticing. I just wanted to browse initially out of curiosity and because it is a photographer that I like. Again my attention was been attracted by the following information, written presentation of this voluminous book: "This collection is located between that of Nadar for the second half of the nineteenth century and the studios for post-Harcourt War. "
Therefore, how can you resist?
however I soon realized that this was not necessarily the best photos and most successful showing that attracted me but those people already encountered through my readings
Here those who have the more emotion:
Sylvia Beach (p80) in his famous Paris bookstore, "Shakespeare and Company" , opposite to that of Adrienne Monnier ( "The House of Friends books ") It stated that there was selling more!
Rene Crevel to 1930 (1900/1935), surrealist poet, moving, died very young. Very elegant here with tie and jacket.
Marcel Duchamp and his tonsure star (p 126)
Leonor Fini and his cat who seem both wear the same fur. (P 140)
The death mask di Modigliani different from his photographs. This
another Proust in 1922. Man Ray did not know the author and had never seen but Cocteau asked him to take this picture of Proust on his deathbed without publishing. The photograph will be published in some Newspapers, however, but without the name of Man Ray
A Cocteau different from the mundane recent years that I knew mostly far.
also moved me all the portraits of people in sight at this time and disappeared shortly after being deported. Thus
than Sonia Mosse (1917/1943), actress and artist who was close to surreal with Agnes Capri cabaret lesbian, "Capricorn" , opened in 1938. It is shown with Nush Eluard , the companion of Paul Eluard .
Man Ray said "This is the human face that interests me. Whenever I see a face that I find interesting, I like the photograph. "
