Man Ray and Lee Miller.

as to be expected, the first artist i will be focusing on is Man Ray. he was involved in Modernism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and Avant-Garde, which means i have a lot more reading to do

at this point in time i don't have any information beyond the internet and what i knew already from Photo history; for the next week i will be focused specifically on Man Ray and Lee Miller.
Lee Miller was Man Ray's girlfriend, and claims credit for many of Man Ray's photographs done while the two lived together. (i'm surprised there isn't a movie about the two yet).
it is also debatable which of the two figured out Solarisation (Man Ray made it popular);


i'm going to create a solarised print in the next week


- josef ehm (solarisation)
