Ray, Man (eig. Emmanuel Rudnitzky oder Emmanuel Radnitzky, 1890-1976, US-amerikanischer Fotograf, Filmregisseur, Maler und Objektkünstler). Original-Photographie von Mimmo Frassineti (geb. 1942). Fregene 3. Juli 1975. Format: 40 x 30 cm.

Actually the artist was in Fregene, a seaside town 40 km from Rome, at a friend's house, where the magazine had made an appointment for me. I was going to meet Man Ray! While driving the car along the via Aurelia I prepared mentally myself . Maybe he will be incredibly snobby, a guy full of himself! On the other hand - I thought - a genius like him can also afford it." I felt a bit of anxiety when I rang the bell of a cottage between the pine forest and the sea. I was led into an inner courtyard under a pergola. Man Ray was sitting at a table covered with a checkered tablecloth, had a chessboard and a cup of coffee in front of him and held a Tuscan cigar in his fingers. It took little to realize that my pessimistic predictions would be disproved, since I have rarely met someone more lovable. Man Ray willingly lent himself to the photos and gave me, with a dedication, the catalog of his exhibition, which I consider among my most precious assets. Later I presented the sequence of portraits at the Underwood gallery - a special place for photography in those years in Rome" (M. Frassineti). - Der bedeutende ital. Fotograf, Maler und Bühnenbildner M. Frassineti arbeitete nach seinem Kunststudium seit 1970 als Photojournalist und ist heute besonders als Maler international bekannt. - Rückseitig mit Stempel des Photographen, vintage.
