Man Ray, Mathematical Object, 1936

“Between 1934-36 Man Ray photographed the mathematical objects at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris, as shown to him by the artist Max Ernst. ‘The fact that they were man-made was of added importance to me,’ he wrote in his autobiography Self portrait, ‘and they could not be considered abstract as [André] Breton feared when I first showed them to him – all abstract art appeared to me as fragments: enlargements of details in nature and art, whereas these objects were complete microcosms.’” (Art Gallery NSW)
