Man Ray Etching Renee 1970

A collectible limited numbered etching by Man Ray (1890 - 1976), one of fifteen illustrations he made for André Beton's, La Ballade des Dames hors du Temps.

Man Ray was an American visual artist that spent most of his career living in Paris where he found motifs for his art amongst the men and women who moved in the artistic circles of his time.  A key figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements. Born Emmanuel Radnitzky, the artist adopted his pseudonym in 1909, and although he also worked in painting, sculpture, video, and printmaking, he became famous for his striking black and white surrealist photography.
