Description from the seller
Man Ray, Mr. and Mrs. Woodman, 1926.
One of the most enigmatic images of the Surrealist imagination, Mr. and Mrs. Woodman depicts the complex interaction between the human and the artificial in a visual interplay that challenges the conventions of traditional portraiture. The symbolic presence of the embracing mannequins and the distant, melancholic face in the background create a scene charged with emotional tension, ambiguity, and irony. This photolithograph faithfully reproduces the original work by Man Ray, a key 20th-century artist whose photography redefined the boundaries between art, fashion, desire, and conceptual avant-garde.
'Copyright 2001 Man Ray Trust, Paris / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn' on the bottom back.
Total dimensions: 36,5 x 28,2 cm on semi-gloss paper.
Fine condition.
Man Ray stands as one of the foundational figures of 20th-century photography. An inventor and visionary, his influence resonates alongside Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Robert Capa, Elliott Erwitt, Walker Evans, Alfred Stieglitz, Diane Arbus, Cindy Sherman, Irving Penn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Richard Avedon and other artists who reshaped the medium.
