Excerpt:
Man Ray may best be remembered for his artful fashion photography-among other, more outré contributions to the prewar avant-garde-but an exciting new show at Di Donna reveals an entirely different side of his artistic practice: scores of stylish oils and works on paper, executed over several decades. Enigma and Desire: Man Ray Paintings (through December 13) will be the first exhibition of these largely Surrealist works, all of which speak persuasively to Man Ray's facility (and ingenuity) across mediums.
