맨 레이 1890–1976
미국인 b. 필라델피아 다다, 초현실주의
Emmanuel Radnitzky, 세상에 Man Ray로 알려진 그는 쉽게 규정하기 어려운 불안정한 영혼이었습니다. 1890년 러시아 유대인 이민자 부모에게서 태어나 필라델피아에서 화가를 꿈꾸던 그의 여정은 20세기 초 급진적인 예술적 발효를 구현합니다. Salvador Dalí와 같은 다른 초현실주의 예술가들과의 협력은 그의 입지를 더욱 굳혔지만 그는 항상 자신의 예술적 비전에 대한 정도의 독립성을 유지했습니다. Man Ray의 예술적 호기심은 정지 이미지 너머로 영화 영역으로 확장되었습니다.

이브 탕기 1900–1955
프랑스계 미국인 b. 파리 8구 초현실주의 Wikipedia 26/32
“북쪽을 향해 천천히(Slowly Toward The North)” (1942)와 같은 작품은 황량하면서도 묘하게 매혹적인 세계로 관람객을 끌어들이며 이러한 잊히지 않는 분위기를 잘 보여줍니다. 그의 회화는 서사를 전달하기보다 하나의 분위기, 즉 의미의 진술이라기보다는 감정의 환기 그 자체입니다.
