501 Revisited

Once again I'm looking at the book 501 Great Artists. I'm so glad that Man Ray is included. I was first introduced to his sculpture & assemblages in the 1960's and thought they were very innovative. Then in 2004 I rediscovered him while I was taking photography. Yes, as described, he was a man with a diverse range of talents. His black & white photos of manipulated subjects really defined the identity of this artist who named himself, Man Ray. And he left behind not only a collection of great art but a photographic technique known as the Rayograph. Google can tell you more.
