20th Century Man Ray Mirror "Les grands transparents" for Gavina, '70s
About the Item
Among the most versatile and creative artists of the twentieth century, Man Ray (1890 - 1976) - was one of the most radical and multifaceted representatives of Dadaism and Surrealism. Born in Philadelphia in 1890, he frequented Greenwich Village at the time of the avant-garde, following the 1913 New York Armory Show; Paris in the 1920s and 1930s, where he played a key role in the Dada and Surrealist Movements; the Hollywood of the 1940s, where he joined other European war refugees; and finally Paris again until his death in 1976.
Man Ray met Dino Gavina in Paris. At first the meeting was tense because Man Ray thought he was facing a journalist or a critic. Then his aggressiveness turned to politeness as soon as he realized that he was asking for nothing more than to meet him. From the hallway they moved on to the studio, and they spent hours together. At that very moment an extraordinary friendship was born and an association that united them for life.
