Rosenheim stated: "This remarkably seductive album of photogravures is an exquisite example of his legacy as America's greatest Surrealist photographer." "Man Ray's ÉLECTRICITÉ is not only one of the most ravishing and sought-after of company photobooks but it contains a cogent suite of photographs that the leading American Dadaist and commercial photographer himself never bettered."

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 370 pages; 320 drawings and photographs. Description: "ocked in enormous bank vaults and largely removed from public scrutiny for more than a decade the little known collection of the Man Ray Trust comprises more than 4000 works by Man Ray. The 320 photographs and drawings selected for this publication are among the rarest of Man Rays works and will be a revelation to even his most devoted admirers. At the core of Man Ray: Trees Flowers Insects Animals is a series of landscape photographs made by Man Ray from the 1920s through the 1950s many of which bear the distinct influence of Eugène Atget. With subjects including castles and ruined buildings street scenes and the objects from which he drew inspiration for other artworks the photographs and drawings in this book represent an intermediary step in Man Rays creative process. The title of the series Trees Flowers Insects Animals was discovered by the editor scrawled across the backside of a photograph and provides a key to this most unusual collection. These photographs function as a subject index to the themes and motifs that Man Ray employed in his better known works. They are on the one hand a record of his travels and observations in Europe and the United States. On the other hand they are the relic of a moment preserved by Man Ray for later use and interpretation." -- with a bonus offer-- . Steidl hardcover

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
