Influential American-born artist (1890–1976) who carved out an important niche in the history of modern art with his pioneering Dadaist works and his distinctive photographs and solarized photographic images dubbed ‘rayographs.’ Vintage matte-finish 6.75 x 8.75 portrait by Man Ray of the surrealist poet Rene Char, signed in the lower right in black ink, “Man Ray 1933.” Stamp from the Man Ray’s famous Montparnasse studio to the reverse reads: “Man Ray, 31 Bis, Rue Campagne-Premiere, Paris—14e.” Silvering to dark areas of the image, a tack hole to the top border, and some light contrast to the signature, otherwise fine condition. Man Ray took this portrait quite early in Char’s career, shortly before he published his first major collection of verse, entitled Le marteau sans maitre. A lovely, unusually traditional photograph from one of the most recognizable artists of the 20th century.
