In 1921, the painter Man Ray sailed from New York to Paris, where Marcel Duchamp introduced him to the Dadaist group. He moved to Montparnasse and spent his days in the cafés drinking espressos and smoking cigarettes; he also found a darkroom. Max Ernst, André Breton, Paul Éluard, and Erik Satie received his photography with enthusiasm, and Ray began producing stunning portraits of people like Gertrude Stein, Meret Oppenheim, and Ernest Hemingway. At Di Donna, 70 vintage silver prints of the Paris avant-garde are now on view. “A camera alone does not make a picture,” Ray said. “To make a picture you need a camera, a photographer and above all a subject. It is the subject that determines the interest of the photograph.” —Elena Clavarino
