Focusing on the avant-garde artist and photographer Man Ray (1890-1976), this is one of a series of illustrated monographs which offer introductions to modern art and artists. Each book presents a profile of the artist and analysis of his distinctive style. Born in Philadelphia, Man Ray came into his own in Paris in the 1920s and became a major figure in the Dadaist and Surrealist movements, as well as one of the most successful commercial photographers of his day. The illustrations in the book encompass all of his principal mediums and all periods of his career.

Colors a bit off, but not affecting the majority
July 12 2009
By Eugene Tenenbaum
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
As in all titles in the Great Modern Masters series published by Abrams: Colors are not vibrant, often with a brownish tint or/and too dark, and their accuracy is just O.K., but not affecting the majority of works. There are 64 pages of a good size 9.5x12 inches (24x30.5 cm). It begins with an introduction with 5-6 small b&w pictures on 2 pages, which is followed by a biography with 5-6 small b&w pictures on 2 next pages. The rest is dedicated to good size over 60 full color plates divided into chapters dedicated to artist's carrier periods, style directions, or themes, each described by 12-16 lines of text. The series is inferior to the same size paperback series published by Taschen in 1990s, but superior to Taschen's series of smaller sizes published latter. Unfortunately, the Taschen series does not cover Bacon, Botero, Brancusi, Braque, Calder, de Chirico, Johns, Kokoschka, Leger, Man Ray, Malevich, Modigliani, and Rouault this series does.
