Man Ray (1890-1976) - Le Violin d´Ingres - 1924 (The Violin of Ingres) ''Inspired by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres's La Grande Baigneuse, Man Ray used Kiki de Montparnasse wearing a turban as a model for this piece. He transformed the female body into a musical instrument by painting sound-holes on her back, playing with the idea of objectification of an animate body. Throughout his career Man Ray was fascinated with juxtaposing an object with a female body.'' (Source: Man Ray . Net) Silver gelatine print on Agfa paper.
