A Dada movement painter, sculptor, film maker, and photographer, Man Ray became one of America's most influential artists and was based in New York City.
He was born with the name of Emmanuel Radensky in Philadelphia and was raised in New York City. He worked for an engraving firm and studied art briefly at the Ferrer School, but from that time was largely self taught. In 1911, he began doing collage, which was some of the first non-objective art work in this country. He also explored Cub (showing 500 of 12294 characters). |
