A focused survey of Man Ray’s formative Paris years, Photographien Paris 1920–1934 documents one of the most influential periods in the history of avant-garde photography.
Published in 1980 by Schirmer/Mosel, this paperback volume brings together works created during Man Ray’s time in Paris between 1920 and 1934 a period in which he became deeply associated with the Surrealist movement and transformed the possibilities of photographic experimentation.
The book highlights many of the artist’s defining visual strategies, including solarization, unconventional portraiture, and dreamlike compositions that blurred the boundaries between photography, painting, and object making. Across the publication, Man Ray’s images move fluidly between fashion, portraiture, abstraction, and Surrealist inquiry, reflecting the creative intensity of interwar Paris.
Produced as a concise yet substantial monograph, the volume serves both as an introduction to Man Ray’s Parisian oeuvre and as an important reference for collectors and scholars of modern photography and Surrealism.
A compelling document of one of the twentieth century’s most radical photographic practices.

Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
