The studio of Man Ray
Rare Books
"Man Ray fled Paris following the Nazi occupation in 1940. Instead of heading for New York, as did many of the Surrealists, he settled in Los Angeles where he hoped to have a career in films. There he met Juliet Browner, and they were married in a double ceremony alongside Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. Drawn back to Paris by Man Ray's Dada roots, they set sail for France in 1951. Soon he and Juliet found the studio at 2 bis rue Ferou, a narrow winding street between the large whitewashed room that had originally been a garage and had subsequently been used for many years by a sculptor ... My first visit to the studio in 1983 set the stage for subsequent visits ... It was a great adventure to see Man Ray's life through the filter of his studio: a unique experience"--From author's introduction.
