Man Ray (1890-1976) was a groundbreaking multidisciplinary artist best known for his innovative contributions to photography and Surrealism. His working method was defined by experimentation, often merging technical precision with chance. He developed the rayograph technique—creating images without a camera by exposing objects on photosensitive paper—and consistently challenged artistic conventions through unconventional materials, abstract forms and conceptual depth. His practice reflected a deliberate fusion of spontaneity, innovation and intellectual rigor.
