After Man Ray (American, 1890 - 1976)
Man Ray's "Nude at Wheel" from "Erotique Voilée". Silver gelatin print, no markings, unframed.
In 1933, Man Ray made a series of photographs using the artist Meret Oppenheim as a model. In this series, entitled Erotique Voilée, Oppenheim stands nude behind an enormous printing press wheel, her left arm, which is covered with ink, held up to her forehead. The left hand and arm are soiled and impure, but her gesture maintains an ambiguity between the warding off of further insults and a proud display of her stain.
Condition: Good, slight scuffing to corners, photograph rolled at edges.
