Anselmino 47 - {Rare B.A.T.(bon à tirer) impression} before the edition of 60 copies. Published by Les Éditeurs Français Réunis, Paris, 1969. Here Man Ray masterfully combines his typical tension between the coloured plate ground and his reduced, at the same time symbolically charged pictorial language. One has the impression of recognising anthropomorphic figurations that arise from the interplay of line, hatching and surface. "Les Chambres. Poème du temps qui ne passe pas" is a printmaking work that was created as part of a literary-artistic collaboration with the French poet Louis Aragon. Man Ray uses the series of prints to explore the theme of time as a subjective and paradoxical phenomenon. Colour etching.
