About this poster

The American photographer, film director, painter and object artist Man Ray was one of the most important artists of Dadaism and Surrealism. However, due to the complexity of his work, Man Ray is generally categorised as a modernist and is considered an important source of inspiration for modern photography and film history. His numerous portrait photographs of contemporary artists document the heyday of cultural life in Paris in the 1920s. In 1988, the Zurich Kunsthaus put on a photo exhibition about Man Ray, for which the Lausanne graphic artist Werner Jeker designed the expressive exhibition poster.
