Man Ray, the master of experimental and fashion photography was also a painter, a filmmaker, a poet, an essayist, a philosopher, and a leader of American modernism. 
Through Duchamp, Man Ray met some of the most exciting artists and thinkers in Paris. Though he didn’t speak a word of French at first, he was welcomed 
into this group and became its unofficial photographer. Though deeply immersed in the artistic life of France, World War II forced Man Ray to leave Paris, and he moved to Hollywood. He spent ten years there working as a fashion photographer. With 
his brave use of lighting and minimalist representation, Man Ray produced fashion 
photographs unlike any that had come before—and forever changed that discipline.
