Arbeit stages Man Ray himself alongside a model whose bare back recalls the famous violin-like curves of Man Ray’s 1924 photograph Le Violon d’Ingres.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than simply recreating the historic image, Arbeit turns the reference into a scene in progress. Man Ray watches as the model is transformed into the familiar “violin,” while another figure looks directly toward the camera. The visible backdrop and theatrical staging give the photograph a playful, behind-the-scenes quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work reflects Arbeit’s longstanding engagement with Surrealism and Man Ray’s influence on his own photographic practice. Fashion, art history and performance come together in an image that feels both like an homage and a witty reinterpretation of one of photography’s most recognizable visual ideas. Arbeit’s own biography identifies Man Ray as an important influence on his experimental work. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEDITIONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14 x 11 in ( 40 x 30 cm) - Edition of 6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 x 16 in (50.8 x 40.64 cm) - Edition of 10 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40 x 30 in (101.6 x 76.2 cm) - Edition of 5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e60 x 50 in (152.4 x 127 cm) - \u003cspan\u003eEdition of 5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCOA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eincluded (one issued by the artist and one issued by LIGHTWORKS)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcellent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Arbeit","offers":[{"title":"14 x 11 in (40 x 30 cm)","offer_id":56072188985417,"sku":null,"price":1600.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 x 16 in (50.8 x 40.64 cm)","offer_id":56072189018185,"sku":null,"price":2400.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 x 30 in (101.6 x 76.2 cm)","offer_id":56072189050953,"sku":null,"price":5900.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60 x 50 in (152.4 x 127 cm)","offer_id":56072189083721,"sku":null,"price":8500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/1556\/4361\/files\/Man-Ray.jpg?v=1788998087","url":"https:\/\/www.lightworksgallery.net\/products\/man-ray-paris-2001","provider":"LIGHTWORKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
