More quotes by Man Ray

Man Ray
I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence.

Reality is fabricated out of desire.
Man Ray
An effort impelled by desire must also have an automatic or subconscious energy to aid its realization.
Man Ray
One of the satisfactions of a genius is his will-power and obstinacy.

Speaking of nudes, I have always had a great fondness for this subject, both in my paintings and in my photos, and I must admit, not for purely artistic reasons.
Man Ray
It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.
Man Ray
All my life I have painted pictures so that certain people would drop dead when they looked at them, but I have not succeeded yet. The worst painting cant hurt you, but a bad driver can kill you, a bad judge can send you to the chair, a bad politician can ruin an entire country, That is why even a bad painting is sacred.
Man Ray
An original is a creation motivated by desire.
Man Ray
Oh, yes, I was a great retoucher. A retoucher is an esthetic surgeon !
Man Ray
I paint what cannot be photographed, something from the imagination... I photograph the things I don't want to paint, things that are already in existence.
Man Ray
Is photography an art? There is no point in trying to find out if it is an art. Art is old-fashioned. We need something else.
Man Ray
I have been accused of being a joker. But the most successful art to me involves humor.
Man Ray
A camera alone does not make a picture. To make a picture you need a camera, a photographer and above all a subject. It is the subject that determines the interest of the photograph.
Man Ray
I do not photograph nature. I photograph my visions.
Man Ray
Nature does not create works of art. It is we, and the faculty of interpretation peculiar to the human mind, that see art.
Man Ray
I am an economic person I judge the amount of work involved with the amount of worth attained.
Man Ray
Thanks to my effort in the last 40 years, there has been more paper and film wasted.
Man Ray
To create is divine, to reproduce is human.
Man Ray
