“Being both inventive and methodical is key to Ray’s talent as a photographer. He was a first-rate portraitist, creating flattering images by shooting from a distance, then cropping and enlarging the image, which softened flaws yet captured facial proportions accurately. But overall, I’d say, it was his wit—his unconventional approach to conventional subjects—that distinguishes him.” -Arthur Lubow, Man Ray: The Artist and His Shadows
