A very small book that belies the amount of information inside. With biographical information, comments on both his art, photography and philosophy, this book gives an amazing overview of Man Ray's scope of invention and manipulation of different mediums as well as the twisting your mind to see beyond what is presented.

Anyway good photography good book with nice quality pages good time
