Man Ray was born in 1890 in Philadelphia, and later moved with his family to New York City where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts and the Ferrer School. He had an early desire to become a painter, studied architectural drawing and engineering, and began his career as a graphic designer and typographer.
Man Ray was a tireless experimenter with photographic techniques who participated in the Cubist, Dadaist, and Surrealist art movements. He was given the name Man Ray by his family when he was 15, and wished to be known only by that name. As a painter, sculptor, and filmmaker, as well as a photographer, Man Ray brought his diverse techniques to bear upon one another in the attempt to create "disturbing objects."
In 1910 he met Alfred Stieglitz at the 291 gallery and became acquainted with the work of important modern artists Stieglitz exhibited. He was given a one-man show of paintings at Charles Daniel's gallery in New York in 1915. The same year he met Marcel Duchamp who encouraged his making assemblages and collages. Around 1920 he began photographing his paintings for record purposes, but soon started to explore the photographic medium for its own sake. He became a member of New York's proto-Dada group about this time along with Duchamp, Francis Picabia, and others.
In 1921 he moved to Paris and became internationally famous as the photographer of Parisian artists between the wars. He made portraits of the entire intellectual elite: Breton, Joyce, Eliot, Schoenberg, Matisse, Ernst, Artaud, Stein, Brancusi, and Hemingway, to name a few. He participated in the first international Dada show held in Paris, was a member of the Surrealist movement from 1924, and exhibited at the first Surrealist show in Paris in 1925. In 1932, his work appeared in the major Surrealist exhibition at New York's Julien Levy Gallery. He was included in the Museum of Modern Art's Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism show in 1935.
Ray fled Paris before the Nazi occupation in 1940 and settled in Hollywood where he continued to work and teach for the next 10 years. Man Ray died in 1976.
