Man Ray, African Art and the Modernist Lens

Presented by: The Phillips Collection

Over 100 striking black-and-white photographs from the 1920s and 1930s inspired by African objects, some reunited with the photographs for the first time. These images, by Man Ray and his contemporaries in the Harlem Renaissance and the international avant-garde, have shaped the understanding of African art in Western culture. They reveal how framing, lighting, camera angle, and cropping radically influence the interpretation of a subject.
Admission: $12 for adults, $10 for visitors 62 and over and students, free for members and visitors 18 and under
