Man Ray Julie, 1970 exhibits a sense of mystery, intrigue, and surrealism through the use of the artist’s obscuration of imagery. Reflecting the artist’s mastery of skill and technique, this work uses simple shapes and contours and transforms them into a complex arrangement. In this work, a woman with olive toned skin and piercing grey eyes faces the viewer. Her hands gracefully conceal the expression on her face, accentuating her mysterious demeanor. The poetic quality of her figure is personified in the hands that intersect in the center of the composition and draw the viewer’s attention up to the eyes of the woman.

Created in 1970, this original color lithograph is hand-signed by Man Ray (Philadelphia, 1890 – Paris, 1976) in pencil in the lower right margin and numbered from the edition of 100 in pencil in the lower left margin.
