More Man Ray






Man Ray was born, Emmanuel Radnitzky (August 27, 1890–November 18, 1976) in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  He spent most of his career in Paris. He quickly became a prominent member of the art colony there. He was friends with many of the avant garde. The top photo is of painter Joan Miro, then photos of Pablo Picasso, a photo of Man Ray's long-time lover, Kiki of  Montparnasse, Salvador Dali and Man Ray, and a  photo by Man Ray of an unidentified man.
(Hemingway introduced Kiki to Man Ray in 1921.)

A photo of Joan Miro taken by Man Ray, then "The Farm" by Miro.

for Hadley's 34th birthday (1925).
A detailed description of "The Farm" & a larger image of the painting can be found at The National Gallery of Art.
