I had been thinking about artists I studied at college, Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, Man Ray & Lee Miller and her role in their relationship and how they all fitted with in Surrealism and Dada and finding new and important images about their work as I wandered around the internet. Here an early photograph of Man Ray in his studio:



Man Ray, Self-Portrait in his room-studio, Brooklyn, ca 1910
[the portrait on the easel is one of Sam Ray, his brother and on the wall an early portrait by Man Ray of a fellow student (1909) - see here...]
