Man Ray, who generated Dada in New York as Max Ernst and Johannes Baargeld in Cologne, Schwitters in Hannover, Hannah Höch and Raoul Hausmann in Berlin, is the custodian of "The Classical" among all of them. He confides blatantly to beauty, to sensuality – his planned break lines between the assumptions of the audience and the standards of photographic work Man Ray relocated into the head of the viewer. With contributions by a number of critics and full page phtographs of works by Hans Arp, Johannes Bargeld, André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Georges Grosz, Raoul Hausmann, John Heartfield, Hannh Höch, Man Ray, Lázlo Moholy-Nagy, Kurt Schwitters, Tristan Tzara, Piet Zwart and others.
