He is also one of the most elusive. In this new biography, journalist and critic Arthur Lubow uses Man Ray?s Jewish background as one filter to understand his life and art.   Man Ray began life as Emmanuel Radnitsky, the eldest of four children born in Philadelphia to a mother from Minsk and a father from Kiev. When he was seven the family moved to the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, where both parents worked as tailors. Defying his parents? expectations that he earn a university degree, Man Ray instead pursued his vocation as an artist, embracing the modernist creed of photographer and avant-garde gallery owner Alfred Stieglitz. When at the age of thirty Man Ray relocated to Paris, he, unlike Stieglitz, made a clean break with his past. 410 0$aJewish Lives 606 $aArtists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aJewish artists$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$2fast 608 $aBiographies.$2fast 615 0$aArtists 615 0$aJewish artists 676 $a759.13 700 $aLubow$b Arthur$01219646 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554265503321 996 $aMan Ray$92820074 997 $aUNINA
