Sinopse

Bringing together unique and rarely seen photographs, paintings, sculpture and drawings, this exquisite book tells the story of the tumultuous relationship between the artists Man Ray (1890–1976) and Lee Miller (1907–1977). From 1929 to 1932, the two lived together in Paris, first as teacher and student, and later as lovers.

Featuring a candid and poignant contribution from Antony Penrose, the son of Miller and the English painter Roland Penrose, on the relationship between Man Ray and his parents in later years, this is an extraordinary exploration of the love, lust and desire that drove the art of the Surrealists.The first book to focus on the relationship between Man Ray and Lee Miller, a volatile love affair that helped shape the course of modern artPresents rarely seen work by these two major Surrealists, as well as that of other renowned artists in their circle, such as Picasso, Roland Penrose, Dora Maar and Alexander Calder
