The Films of Man Ray
Born in Philadelphia in 1890, Man Ray settled in Paris in 1921 to join the
Dada movement. He was a radically experimental artist of genius who won
immense critical acclaim for his photographic work. In the 1920's, Man Ray
directed four films which, although they are little known to the general
public, made him a major figure in avant-garde cinema. His film making was
as radical as his pictures and his objects.
This DVD, published by the Centre Pompidou, includes a number of films by
Man Ray and a 12 page booklet.
