Miller au collier par Man Ray

images that haunt us


Bromide print mounted on artist’s paper. Signed and titled in pencil on mount recto. Nine exhibition labels and two exhibition stamps on verso. The subject is wearing a half mask, a headdress (probably made of velvet) adorned in the middle with a flower-shaped ornament and a huge fluffy collar. He/she wears heavy lipstick and a drawn mole. This is a striking enigmatic picture. It is not clear whether this is a man or a woman.
