The answer lies within the oeuvre of Man Ray (1890–1976).

The arc the images strike from painting back to photography reveals the ease with which Man Ray moved between various disciplines and forged his own path. An inveterate experimenter, he pioneered artistic activities in the realms of painting, object making, film, and photography, challenging conventional boundaries and blurring established aesthetic categories.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cA name=_GoBack\u003e\u003c\/A\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans\"\u003eExhibitions: The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., February 7–May 10, 2015 | NY Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen, June 11–September 20, 2015 | The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, October 20, 2015–January 23, 2016\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none\"\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874906861832,"sku":"9783775739207","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775739207_9fc5b302-451d-4306-9da9-f09dec797690.jpg?v=1744114155","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17665-man-ray-human-equations","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
