Man Ray's Objects Include a Banjo Uke
Here is a banjo uke that Man Ray used for a sculpture. It's called Optical Illusion, 1946. He made many cool objects - a metronome with an eye attached was one of my favs. He must have liked music. (Photo Credit: from the book "Self Portrait", Man Ray) More about him on Wikipedia . I'm feeling close to him, the dadaists, and the surrealists right now.Another Glimpse of New Work
Small detail from "Dragonfly Vanity Waltz", one of the new paintings in my upcoming show at Thinkspace Gallery in L.A. (opens Feb. 13, 2009).
