Man Ray

He was a key figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements, known for his innovative use of photography and experimental techniques. Man Ray created striking images, including his famous "Rayographs," which involved placing objects directly onto light-sensitive paper. His work challenged traditional aesthetics and explored themes of dreams and the subconscious. In addition to photography, he also dabbled in painting, sculpture, and film. His unique vision has left a lasting impact on contemporary art.
