| book description |

The first in-depth study of Man Rayâ€™s groundbreaking rayographs of the 1920s and their interconnections with his Dada and Surrealist works Â This is the first in-depth study of the rayograph (or camera-less photograph) pioneered by Man Ray (1890â€“1976) in 1920s Paris, between the Dada and Surrealist movements. The transformative, magical qualities of these experiments led the poet Tristan Tzara to describe them as capturing moments â€œwhen objects dream.â€ Oscillating between representation and abstraction, the rayograph was ambiguous in its making and subject matter, encapsulating avant-garde concerns of the day. This book highlights connections and shared motifs between the rayographs and Man Rayâ€™s paintings, photographs, drawings, objects, and films. Stephanie Dâ€™Alessandro and Stephen C. Pinson analyze the artistâ€™s innovative methods while also exploring key themes across a broad range of his art production, such as chance, indeterminacy, transformation, and preoccupation with dualities. Â Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press Â Exhibition Schedule: Â The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (September 14, 2025â€“February 1, 2026)
