Description from the seller
** Reserve price €69 **
Vintage photographic poster dedicated to La Prière, the celebrated work created in 1930 by Man Ray, one of the leading figures of Dadaism and Surrealism.
Man Ray (1890–1976), an American artist and photographer who became a naturalized French citizen, was a key figure in the 20th-century avant-garde. Through photographic experimentation, solarization, and his famous rayographs, he helped transform photography into an independent artistic language.
Created during his Paris period, La Prière is one of the most recognizable images in his photographic work. The piece is representative of the Surrealist exploration of the human body, sensuality, and the transformation of reality through photographic framing.
The original photograph dates from 1930 and is documented in the collections of major museum institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The Metropolitan Museum of Art
