Man Ray and the Women

About the Exhinbition

Man Ray (1890–1976) was a leading artist of the twentieth century. Transcending genres such as paintings, objects, and films, he was particularly in pursuit of the potentials of photography as a new medium. While producing experimental expressions by means of rayograph and solarization, he recorded the Dada and Surrealist movements he took part in and undertook portraits and fashion photography, too. Shedding light on the “women” captured by Man Ray’s camera, through approximately 240 works, the trajectory of his photographic works and how Man Ray was received in Japan are examined.

About the special section

On the occasion of the exhibition "Man Ray and the Women," the museum will feature "Man Ray and Japan" as its special section. Man Ray also worked with Dada and Surrealist poets on books of poetry and art, in addition to photography, objet d'art, film, and painting. His wide-ranging activities were introduced to Japan in the late 1920s, when he moved from New York to Paris, and influenced prewar avant-garde artists. This section features letters, photographs, books, and other materials exchanged by Shuzo Takiguchi (1903-1979) and Chiruu Yamanaka (1905-1977), both Surrealist poets, critics, and translators who led the Surrealism in Japan, with Surrealists overseas. This exhibition attempts to trace Man Ray's reception in Japan.
The section is includes a collection of poems and drawings that Man Ray collaborated with the poet Paul Éluard and The Distance of the Fairy (1937), a collection of poems and drawings that Takiguchi edited with Yoshifumi[Nobuya] Abe (1913-1971).
After the war, Aiko Miyawaki (1929-2014), a sculptor who came to Europe under the urging of Abe and Takiguchi, had a relationship with Man Ray from 1962 to his last years, and she was also a model for him. The section presents those letters and objects that show their interactions, as well as looks back at Miyawaki's creative transformation from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional in the late 1960s.
