Man Rays subjects included cultural luminaries such as Berenice Abbott, André Breton, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp, Ernest Hemingway, Miriam Hopkins, Aldous Huxley, James Joyce, Lee Miller, Méret Oppenheim, Pablo Picasso, Alice Prin (Kiki de Montparnasse), Elsa Schiaparelli, Erik Satie, and Gertrude Stein. As this lavishly illustrated publication demonstrates, Man Rays portraits went beyond recording the mere outward appearance of the person depicted and aimed instead to capture the essence of his sitters as creative individuals, as well as the collective nature and character of Les Années folles (the crazy years) of Paris between the two world wars, when the city became famous the world over as a powerful and evocative symbol of artistic freedom and daring experimentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDistributed for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExhibition Schedule:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVirginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond\u003cbr\u003e(October 30, 2021–February 21, 2022)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2188g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 255 x 316 x 40 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780300260847\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael R.
