Emmanuel Rudnitzky, pseudonimo Man Ray, è stato un pittore, fotografo e regista statunitense, esponente del Dadaismo. Nasce a Filadelfia nel 1890, ma è a New York che cresce e completa gli studi: termina la scuola superiore ma rifiuta una borsa di studio in architettura per dedicarsi all’arte. A New York lavora nel 1908 come disegnatore e grafico. Nel 1912 inizia a firmare le sue opere con lo pseudonimo Man Ray che significa uomo raggio. Acquista la sua prima macchina fotografica nel 1914, per fotografare le sue opere d’arte. Nel 1915 il collezionista Walter Arensberg lo presenta a Marcel Duchamp, di cui diverrà grande amico. Nel 1919 dipinge le sue prime aerografie, immagini prodotte con un’aeropenna, uno strumento di ritocco di uso comune per un grafico disegnatore. A New York, con Marcel Duchamp formò il ramo americano del movimento Dada che era iniziato in Europa come un rifiuto radicale dell'arte tradizionale. Dopo alcuni tentativi senza successo e soprattutto dopo la pubblicazione di un unico numero di New York Dada nel 1920, Man Ray affermò che "il Dada non può vivere a New York". Nel 1920 Marcel Duchamp torna a Parigi. Man Ray, che in precedenza aveva rinunciato a trasferirsi in Francia a causa della grande guerra, lo segue. A Parigi Duchamp gli presenta gli artisti più influenti di Francia, fra cui anche André Breton Il successo Parigino di Man Ray è dovuto alla sua abilità come fotografo, soprattutto di ritrattista. Il suo studio fotografico è frequentato dalla Parigi bene, alla ricerca di un ritratto diverso dall’usuale.

Marcel Duchamp 1887-1968 | Cubist, Dadaist, Fauvist and Surrealist painter
Marcel Duchamp the painter and mixed media artist, was associated with Cubism, Dadaism, Fauvism and Surrealism, though he avoided any alliances. Duchamp’s work is characterized by its humor, the variety and unconventionality of its media, and its incessant probing of the boundaries of art. His legacy includes the insight that art can be about ideas instead of worldly things, a revolutionary notion that would resonate with later generations of artists.
Marcel Duchamp was a french artist whose work is most often associated with the Dadaist and Surrealist movements. Considered by some to be one of the most important artists of the 20th century, Duchamp's output influenced the development of post-World War I Western art. He advised modern art collectors, such as Peggy Guggenheim and other prominent figures, thereby helping to shape the tastes of Western art during this period.
Duchamp challenged conventional thought about artistic processes and art marketing, not so much by writing, but through subversive actions such as dubbing a urinal art and naming it Fountain. He produced relatively few artworks, while moving quickly through the avant-garde circles of his time. The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act.
