Exhibition History

Artist, Rebel, Dandy

April 26 - August 18, 2013

In the late 1910s and 1920s Man Ray photographed dozens of his friends in Paris and America. His subjects, such as interior and stage designer Robert Locher and designer and avant-garde arts patron Comte Etienne de Beaumont, dressed with thought, style, and even provocation. These portraits illustrate the artistry of self-presentation and position the artist dandy as an individual for whom clothing is a critical component of a richly crafted identity.
