Man Ray's Noire et Blanche, 1933, black-and-white photograph of woman resting with African mask, exploring cultural contrasts.

This dye transfer print was created in 1933/85. Mounted with edition label (numbered) verso, from the edition of 120 with image measuring 6.5 x 9 in. (16.5 x 23 cm.) and paper measuring 17.25 x 22.25 in. (44 x 56.5 cm.). (Lit.: Man Ray. Photographs. London 1982, ill. p. 106.) // Noire et Blanche by Man Ray, originally created in 1933 and reprinted in 1985 as a dye transfer print, is an iconic photograph that explores contrasts of identity and culture. The composition features a woman with closed eyes resting her head on a flat surface while holding an African mask upright beside her face. The smooth, serene expression of the woman contrasts with the mask’s stylized, enigmatic features, symbolizing the juxtaposition between Western ideals of beauty and African art. The monochromatic tones enhance the contrasts between light and dark, reinforcing themes of duality and introspection. This image is considered a key example of Man Ray’s surrealist approach and fascination with cross-cultural symbolism.

What is avant-garde?

Avant-garde refers to innovative and experimental ideas in the arts that challenge established norms and conventions. Originating from the French term for advance guard, it describes both the movement and the artists who push the boundaries of creativity, often exploring new techniques, forms, and concepts. The avant-garde has been a driving force in various art movements throughout history, such as Dadaism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism, continually reshaping the landscape of art and culture.
