Man Ray (born
Emmanuel Radnitzky; August 27, 1890 – November 18, 1976) was an American visual artist who spent most of his career in
Paris. He was a significant contributor to the
Dada and
Surrealist movements, although his ties to each were informal. He produced major works in a variety of
media but considered himself a painter above all. He was best known for his pioneering photography, and was a renowned
fashion and portrait photographer. He is also noted for his work with
photograms, which he called "rayographs" in reference to himself.
