Man Ray Tribute - Jessica S
Last
week I was very excited to have finally fulfilled one of my photography goals::
to do a Man
Ray tribute. My favourite of
his works is "Le Violon d'Ingres" I looked up other photographer's
tributes and they are all quite closely re-created the image, however I wanted
to put my own flare into the image. Whenever I thought about Le Violon
d'Ingres, I somehow connected the image with peacock feathers. So this was I
did.
Man
Ray {American, 1924}
"Man Ray was an admirer of the paintings of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and made a series of photographs, inspired by Ingres's languorous nudes, of the model Kiki in a turban. Painting the f-holes of a stringed instrument onto the photographic print and then rephotographing the print, Man Ray altered what was originally a classical nude. He also added the title Le Violon d'Ingres, a French idiom that means "hobby." The transformation of Kiki's body into a musical instrument with the crude addition of a few brushstrokes makes this a humorous image, but her armless form is also disturbing to contemplate. The title seems to suggest that, while playing the violin was Ingres's hobby, toying with Kiki was a pastime of Man Ray. The picture maintains a tension between objectification and appreciation of the female form." {Source:: The J. Paul Getty Museum}

Preview:: Jess ♥
Yesterday I had one of the most gorgeous girls I know pose for me for my Tribute to Man Ray's Le Violon D'ingres, which I think is just the most classic beautiful image. I didn't want to copy the print entirely but mostly just the pose. As I have been busy launching Teacup Fairytales I haven't yet gone through most of the photos, but at 3:30am I did get this one edited from the end of the session. (Not a tribute shot) ♥
More to come soon.. xx

Yesterday we picked up our keys and we will be moving the last lot of our stuff tonight and tomorrow.. Its been awesome staying at my mum-in-laws place but it will be great to unpack, not have to share a room with my little monster and get all our new furniture sorted! So happy..
