Man Ray |  |
Emmanuel Radnitsky was born in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on August 27, 1890. "Manny" was the eldest child of an Ashkenazi Jewish family of Russian descent. His parents were Melach "Max" Radnitzky, a tailor, and Manya "Minnie" Radnitzky (née Lourie or Luria), a seamstress. He had a brother, Sam, and two sisters, Dorothy "Dora" and Essie (or Elsie), the youngest of whom was born in 1897, shortly after they moved to the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. He was the uncle of photographer Naomi Savage. In early 1912, the Radnitzky family changed their surname to Ray, at the initiative of Man Ray's brother, who had chosen the surname in response to the widespread anti-Semitism of the time. At the same time, Manny became "Man." Later, he would even refuse to acknowledge having had a name other than "Man Ray." Father Radnitzky enlists his children to help him in his workshop. Man Ray attended the Modern School of the Ferrer Center, which operated in Manhattan and then Harlem, according to the principles of the Catalan libertarian educator Francisco Ferrer. This anarchist training was decisive because it freed him very early on from respect for established values, desacralized in his eyes traditional techniques of expression and encouraged him to follow only his own individual necessity in all his innovations. Rejecting any hierarchy between painting and photography, he considers the camera and the brush as instruments equivalent to what the typewriter is for a writer. | |
