Man Ray's self-portrait exemplifies the analytical manner in which the artist, like Marcel Duchamp, realized the artifice of identity in exploring and shaping his own persona. Solarized and luminous, Man Ray here projects his self-confidence and the successful professional status that he had achieved in Paris by the 1930s.
