| We will feature a print of Man Ray’s monumental painting titled Observatory Time—The Lovers (or as it has become more familiarly known, The Lips). This painting has been described as the quintessential Surrealist painting–and its title exemplifies Gertrude Stein’s insistence upon embodying “time in the composition.” The canvas was eight feet long and over three feet high, and it took Man Ray two years of meticulous, daily work to get it right! |
