Art for arts sake (Dadaism)

Photographer and artist Man Ray was invited to show his work at a French gallery, it was only on the same day of the exhibition he realised he did not have a gift to give to the gallery, he hurriedly created this piece of Dadaist art to give to the gallery. It was only afterwards that it was noticed that it had had been stolen from the gallery.

This is not a copy of his work this is my rendition of it. Please don't ask me if I fully understand dadaist art because I don't :))

A nice collection of items James, which you have put together very cleverly to make this piece of artwork, which I like very much.

I love that you seem to have had a go at ironing your background with eh artwork as well. It's just perfect..........as is the black and white processing!

The wrinkly background was chosen to match my wrinkly face!!

I don't know if you have seen the original by Man Ray but it is one of those images that have stuck with me, I didn't want to do a copy so this is the result.

Thank you so much for your comments I hope you and yours have a good evening
