Man Ray enjoyed experimenting with nontraditional darkroom processes, including the “solarization” technique—a partial tone reversal of a print, created by quick exposure to light during development. This solarized portrait of fellow Surrealist Meret Oppenheim shows the transformation of her head into a disembodied dreamlike form. See the photograph in our newest exhibition, "Photo Eye: Avant-Garde Photography in Europe." #manray #photography #art #boston #surrealist
