198827284<p>New York:: Abbeville Press 1988. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Amid the exuberant chaos of the Paris art scene between the world wars among the jarring factions of Dadaists Surrealists Futurists and miscellaneous others Philadelphia-born Man Ray was universally admired yet - it seemed - stubbornly mysterious. Although he looms large in today's standard art histories as a figure of unmistakable importance few people have seen more than a selection of his remarkable photographs or a handful of his enigmatic "objects". Indeed surprisingly little is known about this extraordinary and innovative creator of paintings collages drawings films aesthetic theory and autobiography - as well as photographs and objects. "Perpetual Motif: The Art of Man Ray" is the first major book on this mysterious and eclectic artist and his work" The Bloomsbury Review. It not only examines all aspects of the artist's production in all its forms but also discusses Man Ray's multifarious connections with the artistic and political radicals of pre-World War I New York the underground avant-garde as well as the haute monde of Paris between the wars and the emigre society of Hollywood after World War 11. Illustrated with nearly 300 of the artist's works in full colour and duotone many published for the first time.</p> Abbeville Press, hardcover

Man Ray born Emmanuel Radnitzky 1890-1976 American painter photographer and conceptual artist active in France a leading light of the Dada and Surrealist movement. Jess McKinley's obituary in the New York Times offers a brilliant look back at Goodman's career: 'In an era when movies like 'Sweet Smell of Success' made Broadway seem like the most glamorous and gritty terrain in entertainment Mr. Goodman was as reliable a presence as broken hearts and dreams come true. From 1939 when he started his career to 1961 Mr. Goodman represented more than 50 Broadway productions including eight shows in 1960 alone. Over the years Mr. Goodman would act as a booster and sometimes as a baby sitter for every type of show person and show personality from the volatile genius Jerome Robbins of 'Gypsy' to the delicate ingénue Audrey Hepburn in 'Gigi' in 1951 to the predictably haunted playwrights William Inge and Clifford Odets among others. Summing up his career in his unpublished memoir Mr. Goodman started with an adage about the publicity game: 'You don't get paid for the work you do; you get paid for the grief you take.' Mr. Goodman seemed to believe that but only to a point. 'Still and all' he wrote 'there's worse ways to make a living'.'B/w Illustrations. Atlantic Monthly / Little Brown hardcover

19261696841926. MAN RAY. Revolving Doors. Comprised of 10 pochoir plates ca. 580 x 380 mm. Folio loose in original publisher's black portfolio with ties laid into a new folding box. Paris: Editions Surréalistes 1926. A fine copy of this legendary Surrealist publication. Between 1916 and 1917 the artist and photographer Man Ray created a series of collages he called "Revolving Doors." He included the series in his third solo exhibition at the Daniel Gallery in New York in 1919. The collages whose geometric shapes combine machine-like and anthropomorphic forms were framed and installed on a rotating pole that the viewer could spin. The original collages were destroyed but he later reproduced them in this series of pochoir prints published by Éditions Surréalistes in Paris. This publication represents an important contribution to avant-garde art and together with Jazz and the Prose du Transsibérien comprise the Holy Trinity of great pochoir books of the twentieth century. Complete sets in fine condition are extremely rare. One of 105 copies signed on the colophon by Man Ray. Reynolds 71. unknown
