Reading what Lee Miller has to say about Man Ray is really
quite interesting. She never speaks of
herself or her time with him, only of his work and life. When speaking of how Man Ray comes to find
solarization, Miller never puts herself there, even though she had a hand in
its discovery. This shows she only cares
of Man Ray and his achievements. She also says how Man Ray thought all
photographic advancements were meant to be shared and made accessible to all. This idea is wonderful. As a student, I feel that techniques and
ideas should be used and shared by all. But
in reality, a great idea or new way of doing things are kept to one’s self
because of the competitiveness of the art world. We should be more open to collaborating
and sharing ideas like Man Ray was.
