Hem ...the grandfather of American beautiful models ..grand daughters...... he was so much more handsome that their grand daughters ......
In mind and face he was better...

But his mind................. way, way beyond all his family.....he was a genius...he was the best American writer of the 20th century.

Man Ray, photographer, painter, and filmmaker who was the only American to play a major role in both the Dada and Surrealist movements. He spent most of his career in France. He photographed everybody in the 20s and beyond, well almost everybody.

Man Ray's photo of a girlfriend in France in the late 20s, Lee Miller....









Suggested reading: "Lee Miller's War" about her photographic experiences during WWII. She was a photographic correspondent for "Vogue" magazine and took many excellent military photos. She traveled across Europe with the 83rd Infantry Division taking pictures as she went.
