From Library Journal
The aim of these two books is the same: the delineation of Man Ray, inventive photographer, painter, sculptor, and film maker who dominated the iconoclastic inner circle of 20th-century art. It is typical of this paradoxical artist that one must look to the biography for historical framework. In the autobiography, wonderfully animated in style and filled with imagination and candor but little chronological documentation, Man Ray presents his image of Man Ray. While this update of a 1963 publication is an atmospheric stream-of-life account and Baldwin's workthe first full-length biographyan anecdotal examination of the artist's restlessness, curiosity, and wittily skewed vision of reality, both portraits convey Man Ray's passion and commitment. They also have in common the cooperation of Juliet Man Ray, who supplied photographs and documents from her own private collection and memories of her husband. Published to coincide with a forthcoming traveling retrospective exhibit, these books provide background for understanding this self-contained artist. Expect more on Man Ray this season; see "State of the Arts" in LJ 's September 15 issue. Ed. Paula Frosch, Metropolitan Museum Lib., New York

From School Library Journal
YA-- Man Ray is an emminent figure in 20th-Century modernism, especially photography and photographic techniques. Baldwin, who had access to the artist's private papers and the cooperation of his family, took five years in putting together this comprehensive biography, which is copiously illustrated with photographs. The scholarly style and length of the book may intimidate some readers, but art and photography students will especially appreciate this insightful biography for research or for perusal.
