A dramatic image of the expatriate author, whose face is illuminated with a back-lit halo. Man Ray, a leading figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements, was best-known for his innovative photographic effects. This portrait of the stoically-faced author has been reproduced in several books, notably in the Sylvia Beach memoir about her Paris bookstore, Shakespeare & Company. Matted and framed under museum glass. Fine.
