Today I´ll talk about the best in my field but is a difficult question because I like many artist. Besides I consider that exist many artworks important for the development for History of art. Anyway, in my opinion the twenty century was the most important for arts.
So you have no idea what is? Well is Man Ray. I like his work! I choose this artist because his works changed the way people see and do photograph. Moreover, in my point of view I think that the photograph was make art when is experimental and this artist is experimental and he shows the other face of photograph.
Man Ray in the creation of his visual poetry...
A menber of the Dadá art movement and the only american member of the Paris Surrealist movement. Man Ray considered himself an artist and thought of photography as a medium of artistic expression when used for more than reproduction. In describing his work, Man Ray once said, “I paint what can not be photographed. I photograph what I do not wish to paint.”
Man Ray in his work to create a Surrealist vision of the female form during the 20`. He began to utilize photography in his work , for example: by means of as solarization over enlargement development for to create a dreamlike effect in his artwork. Also his use of the Rayograph helped him to create a new profound look to his photography, stressing the importance of light and shadow rather than the object itself. These images create by placing objects on light sensitive photographic paper and then exposing the paper to light.
As Vasarely said before existed the artist genius, now, there is a coexistence of researchers.
