This is part biography, part history. Biography of Man Ray, history of the surrealism art movement of the 20s and 30s. A lot of my reading is about art and artists of that period and France during that time, so I thought I would find the book more interesting than I did. It talked about Kiki, Lee Miller, Breton, Duchamp, and all the others, even Gertrude Stein. It had photos. ( )
