About the video...
In an extensive interview filmed in 1961, Man Ray speaks of,
and with, his fellow artists of the Dada and Surrealist
movements in Paris and the United States. Through
conversations and Man Ray’s portrait photography, we meet
painter Max Ernst, Ray’s friend for over 20 years; Salvador
Dali, photographed when his moustache was still "timid"; and
many beautiful female models, all rumored to have been Ray’s
mistresses. The American painter and photographer also
shares his personal vision- his fascination with man-made
objects, mathematical models, and the validity of the
camera.
Combining reminiscence, anecdote, and
visual material, this program reports insightfully on the
life, work, and times of Man Ray.
