近距离观察Man Ray的战时肖像画，以及他与巴黎先锋人物之间的友谊。

Man Ray（1890-1976），原名Emmanuel Radnitzky，1921年7月抵达巴黎后不久，他就开始了一项持续的活动，通过一系列引人注目的肖像画来记录这个城市的国际先锋派，奠定了他作为那个时代主要摄影师之一的声誉。Man Ray的拍摄对象包括文化名人，如贝伦尼斯·阿伯特、安德烈·布勒东、让·科克托、马塞尔·杜尚、欧内斯特·海明威、米里亚姆·霍普金斯、奥尔德斯·赫胥黎、詹姆斯·乔伊斯、李·米勒、梅雷·奥本海姆、巴勃罗·毕加索、爱丽丝·普林、埃尔莎·希亚帕雷利、埃里克·萨蒂和格特鲁德·斯坦。正如这本图文并茂的出版物所展示的那样，Man Ray的肖像画不仅仅是记录被描绘者的外貌，而是旨在捕捉他的拍摄者作为创造性个体的本质，以及两次世界大战之间巴黎的“疯狂年代”的集体性质和特征，当时这座城市作为艺术自由和大胆实验的强大和令人回味的象征而闻名世界。

A close look at Man Ray's interwar portraiture, as well as the friendships between the photographer and his subjects: the international avant garde in Paris

Shortly after his arrival in Paris in July 1921, Man Ray (1890–1976)—the pseudonym of Emmanuel Radnitzky—embarked on a sustained campaign to document the city's international avant-garde in a series of remarkable portraits that established his reputation as one of the leading photographers of his era. Man Ray's 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 Ray's 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.
