"Self Portrait" is Man Ray's 1963 tell-all autobiography that chronicles the artist's odyssey from his modest beginnings as Emmanuel Radnitzky from Ridgefield, New Jersey to becoming the toast of the Dada, Surrealist, Cinema, Fashion, and Literary sets in New York, Paris and Hollywood
La prima parte scritta nel 1929 è straordinaria. Una scrittura asciutta e capace in pochi tratti di disegnare quadri narrativi ricchissimi di piani. La seconda parte è un falso! Scritta mentre l'autrice è ormai morta (nel 1953) e il libro ancora vietato negli USA, ha un evidente cambio di stile e non ha la stessa freschezza,con accenti di un tardo surrealismo, in revival negli stessi anni. L'editore italiano non si fa scrupolo di pubblicare il tutto senza note e senza nemmeno citare show more l'autrice, ma speculando sul nome di Hemingway. show less

De Amerikaanse fotograaf Man Ray is de enige fotograaf in deze serie die bewust kunstzinnige foto's maakt. In dit deel 15 zwart-witfoto's. Een gesolariseerde foto, een prachtig naakt en de beroemde foto van Kiki de Montparnasse met twee toonsleutels op haar rug en natuurlijk een Rayografie.
