Man Ray
This photogram was created by Man Ray in the early to mid 1900s. After moving to Paris and surrounding himself with surrealist artist, Ray was inspired to explore new mediums. He began experimenting with photograms which he called “rayographs.” I like this image because it using photogram techniques to add interest to a more traditional portrait of two women. The film image was layered with strategically-placed drawings. Blocked the light from reaching the photo paper, the drawings left an interesting pattern on the subjects’ faces.
