Man ray, The legendary American dada Surrealist painter, object maker and photographer, chose to ignore his years spent in Fashion photography as a purely commercial endeavor rather then the artistic one, yet his interpretations of the world of high style comprise some of the twentienth centurys most striking images. In 1922 he was introduced in Paris tio the couturier Paul Poiret, who was so taken with the avant-garde sensibility of the then unknown artists camera work that he commissioned him to photography. In 1934-1942 he produced a considerable body of work for Harpers Bazaar photographing personalites in society entertainment and litersry worlds as well as the actual Chanel, Schiaparelli, and Molyneux fashions themselves. This book reproduces a rich selection of these fascinating works, including a number of highly unusual color photographs.
