About the artworkWhen Man Ray moved to Hollywood in 1940, he had been forced to leave most of his works in Paris. He needed to show his art to new audiences in the USA, and therefore he made new versions of some of his former objects, often based on photographs. Objects of My Affection was the name he gave to this collection. In 1944, he compiled an album with this title, containing a selection of photographs and objects, paintings and interiors. To accompany each picture he wrote a commentary - quirky, and often ambiguous. This poetic book enigmatically summarises the essential aspects of Man Ray's oeuvre.
