Man Ray Le baiser (The Kiss). 1930. Gelatin silver print, printed by Pierre Gassmann in 1982. 23 x 30 cm (sheet 30.4 x 38.3 cm). Partial “Man Ray Paris” stamp, “Tirage original réalisé par Pierre Gassmann” stamp, and “A.D.A.G.P. Paris” copyright stamp on the reverse. A central figure of Dada and Surrealism, Man Ray expanded the expressive possibilities of photography through techniques such as solarization and his cameraless “rayographs.” In *Le baiser*, he brings the faces of Lee Miller, his muse and fellow photographer, and an unidentified woman into a tightly framed composition that transforms an intimate gesture into a study of form and desire. – In very good condition.
