From the 1890s through World War II, Paris’ Montparnasse drew artists, writers, and musicians from all over the world to its vibrant café society. One the great artists and agitators of his time, Man Ray (1890–1976) is remembered not simply for the fascinating and experimental works he left behind, but for the crucial role he played in encouraging the revolutionary in art. In an extensive interview filmed in 1961, Man Ray discusses his fellow artists (Max Ernst, Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp) of the Dada and Surrealist movements and shares his personal vision—his fascination with man-made objects, mathematical models, the camera and the United States.
