Man Ray’s continued…  •  He considered Paris his home, and his artistic reputation

flourished there. •  World War II forced Man Ray to flee Paris. •  He had to leave behind his masterpieces of paintings and

photography; in essence, his entire artistic career. •  When his boat was safely in the Port of Newark, he “was

overcome with a feeling of intense depression”. He knew he had to start over.

•  HIS RAYOGRAPHS were not fully appreciated in his lifetime, but are now considered great works.
