Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens
at the Museum of Anthropology
CLOSING SUNDAY, JANUARY 23!!











Only eight more days (not counting today) to see this major exhibition featuring works by surrealist master May Ray and his contemporaries.
Man Ray, African Art, and the Modernist Lens brings to light photographs of African objects by American artist Man Ray (1890-1976) produced over a period of almost twenty years. In addition to providing fresh insight into Man Ray's photographic practice, the exhibition raises questions concerning the representation, reception, and perception of African art as mediated by the camera lens.
Featured are more than 50 photographs by Man Ray from the 1920s and 1930s alongside approximately 50 photographs by his international avant-garde contemporaries such as Charles Sheeler, Walker Evans, Alfred Stieglitz, and André Kertész. A full-color catalogue, written and edited by Curator Dr. Wendy Grossman, may be purchased in MOA's Shop.
Join us on the last day of the show from 1 to 2 pm for jazz in The Audain Gallery by Vancouver's Radiant Sound. See you there!



Man Ray, African Art, and the Modernist Lens was curated by Wendy Grossman, Ph.D and organized by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC. The exhibition was funded in part by grants from the Terra Foundation for American Art, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Dedalus Foundation. Media sponsor The Georgia Straight. Director's Reception sponsored by Consulat Général de France à Vancouver. Note: photography is not permitted in the exhibition.
