Man Ray

Man Ray was a French photographer who was alive in the early 20th century. He specialized in Dadaism, which is an anti-art form of work, and challenged the boundaries of what is acceptable, and what is addressed as "art".  Because of his work people felt more comfortable with producing their own art, which was different from the mainstream stuff being produced.

I like the photographer because of his morals/reasons for his work; he wanted to bring comedy to the art world, during a serious and depressing time period. I don't like his art because It's too complex and honestly kind of weird. I'm more of a simple-natured guy, and some of his prices creep me out.
