Roland Penrose [was] a close friend of [Man Ray] for almost 50 years. This is the first major monograph ever published on Man Ray, and for it Penrose has created an absorbing narrative about the life of his friend, about his work and about his steady presence at the flash point of twentieth-century contemporary art. As the organizer of the International Surrealist Exhibition in London, in 1936, where Man Ray´s work was shown in England for the first time, and as a Surrealist painter himself, Penrose writes from a unique vantage point of the work and life of a modern genius.
