就如曼·雷的自传《自画像》中的篇章一般,本次展览依循艺术家的人生经历分为四个单元:“纽约:1890-1921年”、“巴黎:1921-1940年”、“好莱坞:1940-1951年”和“重返巴黎:1951-1976年”,每一单元都包含不同的主题,从多个维度展现艺术家对现代艺术发展所作出的突出贡献。

比如,曼·雷早年与艺术家马塞尔·杜尚在纽约的相识和往来——他们之间的友谊催生了他的摄影作品《马塞尔·杜尚的<下楼梯的裸女>照片》和《罗丝·瑟拉薇肖像》(“罗丝·瑟拉薇”是杜尚为自己创造的虚构女性身份),以及他作为先驱曾参与并记录的重要艺术运动——达达主义和超现实主义。其中的多件代表性作品将在展览中展出,譬如他在法国创作的第一件达达主义实物作品《礼物》(1921)、《永恒的主题》(1923)等。

其他重要的主题还包括:曼·雷为《Vogue》和《时尚芭莎》拍摄时尚摄影的生涯,以及在他的生命中扮演了关键角色的缪斯和情人——蒙帕纳斯的吉吉、李·米勒和朱丽叶·布朗娜,体现了曼·雷的个人生活对其艺术创作的深刻影响。诗人希尔达·杜利特尔曾写道:“伟大的情人造就了伟大的艺术时期。”这对于曼·雷而言再贴切不过了。

此外,展览还探究了曼·雷如何通过多种方式,将摄影这一媒介扩展至纯艺术与纪实交汇的空间。曼·雷认为他一个通过摄影来复制自己作品的画家。然而,他将肖像和“时尚摄影”融入其艺术语言的实践(他这么做经常是为了维持他的艺术创作),改变了我们今天对摄影的认知,并且影响了摄影和图像在杂志和广告中的应用。

展览将专门开辟一间展厅展示曼·雷与时尚界的紧密联系。可可·香奈儿的肖像、该时期梅拉·奥本海姆等重要艺术家的作品、艾尔莎·特丽奥莱设计的珠宝首饰、著名时尚设计师艾尔莎·斯奇培尔莉的香水瓶等将在这间展厅内并置展出。

曼·雷的艺术使我们透过他的镜头更好地了解世界,展览邀请观众一起感受曼·雷大胆创新的光学实验。他的物影摄影被视为“纯粹的达达主义创造”和“无相机的照片”。此次展览跨越两次世界大战前后的时期,探讨了历史性事件、私人关系和艺术家长期对艺术本质的思考,如何相互交织并最终呈现在他的作品中。曼·雷在创作中揭示出潜意识如何影响着人们的感知,由此梦境,通过想法、欲望和意义成为了现实,就如艺术家曾说过的,“在真正的达达主义精神中,完成了对于困惑的循环。”

Man Ray: Dreams, Images and Love
1 October, 2021 - 2 January, 2022
M WOODS 798
Curated by Victor Wang and Marion Meyer
“Everything can be transformed, deformed, and obliterated by light.” ——Man Ray
The exhibition, much like Man Ray’s autobiography, Self-Portrait, follows the artist’s life through his four major migrations between the United States and France, which are represented in the four chapters of the exhibition: New York: 1890-1921, Paris: 1921-1940, Hollywood: 1940-1951, and Return to Paris: 1951-1976.
From Man Ray’s early encounters and friendship with Marcel Duchamp, which led to his Photograph of Marcel Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2 (1920), and his portraits of Duchamp as “Rrose Sélavy” (his infamous alter ego), both included in the exhibition, each chapter in the exhibition contains specific sub-themes that allow visitors to examine his many contributions to modern art. These themes include the important artistic movements—Dadaism and Surrealism—which he helped to pioneer and record: key works are displayed, such as the first Dada object he made in France, Gift (1921), and Perpetual Motif (1923).
Other important themes include his career in fashion photography for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and the many muses and lovers who played key roles in his life: Kiki de Montparnasse, Lee Miller and Juliet Browner, all of whom have dedicated sections in the exhibition, which highlight the ways in which his personal life informed his art. As the poet H.D. reminds us, “there is no great art period without great lovers”. This was especially true of Man Ray.
In addition to this, the exhibition examines the multitude of ways in which Man Ray expanded the medium of photography to occupy a space at the intersection of fine art and documentation. Man Ray primarily saw himself as “a painter [who] uses his photography to reproduce [his] works”,[1] Yet his incorporation of portraiture and “fashion prints” into his artistic language, often to sustain his art, changed the way we understand the discipline today, and influenced the application of photography and images to magazines and advertisements.
Man Ray’s art allows us to better understand the world through his alternative lens. The exhibition invites audiences to experience Man Ray’s experiments with optics highlighted by his Rayographs, which were considered “pure Dada creations” and “cameraless photographs”.[2] Moving between the pre- and post-war periods, the show investigates how historical events, personal relationships, and his long-term examination of the nature of art, intertwine and take form in Man Ray’s work. Dreams become reality as Man Ray reveals the ways in which the subconscious informs perspective, incorporating ideas, desires, and meaning, while “in true Dada spirit”, as Man Ray asserts, completing “the cycle of confusion”.[3]
