African Art Washington

Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens, The Phillips Collection in Washington

Dear African Arts friends,

Man Ray translated the 20th-century modernist taste for African art into photographs that reached a popular audience.

About 60 of his photographs, many never before exhibited, along with more than 40 photographs by his contemporaries, including Cecil Beaton, Walker Evans, and Alfred Stieglitz, will appear side-by-side with 20 of the African objects featured in the images.

The exhibition explores the pivotal role of these photographs in shaping the perception of non-Western objects as fine art. Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens is organized by International Arts and Artists.

It is happening in the Washington, District of Columbia 20009. 

They published an interesting 200 pages book - catalogue. It will soon be available and Amazon will deliver it to you when it arrives if you are interested:

Man Ray, African Art, and the Modernist Lens (Paperback)

Featuring more than seventy photographs by Man Ray—some never before reproduced—alongside many rarely seen photographs of African art by his European and American contemporaries, Man Ray, African Art, and the Modernist Lens uncovers a virtually unknown chapter in both the inventive activities of this celebrated artist and in this overlooked facet of photographic history.
