Man Ray Biography

American painter, photographer, printmaker, sculptor and filmmaker, multi-talented Man Ray is best known for his RAYOGRAPHS – photographs created without a camera, by placing objects on photographic paper and exposing it to sunlight.

Born as EMMANUEL RADINSKI, he changed his name to Man Ray, after persistent harassment about his foreign-sounding name.

This legendary artist was a close friend of Marcel DUCHAMP and one of the leading exponents of the DADA movement and SURREALISM, in the U.S.
