Man Ray – Photographer Or Painter? On Great Art Explained

Enjoy this tour of seminal photographer Man Ray’s life.

“Man Ray’s image, ‘Le Violon d’Ingres’ helped redefine photography, at a time when it was still seen as a mechanical, documentary medium rather than a vehicle for creative expression. The image blurred the boundaries between traditional art forms like painting and sculpture, and helped to establish photography as a serious and innovative artistic discipline.”
