Er spielte nicht nur, sondern entwarf auch eigene Sets an Figuren und schuf Kunstwerke, die sich mit dem Spiel, seinen Figuren und der Ästhetik beschäftigen. Die Publikation entführt in einen abgeschlossenen Kosmos innerhalb des beeindruckenden Oeuvres von Man Ray.Man Rays Schachbilder sind so begehrt wie seine innovativen Fotografien. Der Maharadscha von Indore, Igor Strawinsky oder David Bowie sammelten sie. Heute befinden sie sich in den bedeutendsten Kunstsammlungen der Welt - dem Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Centre Georges Pompidou und anderen - und werden auf der ganzen Welt geschätzt. Die reich bebilderte Publikation zeigt wann, wie und warum einer der einflussreichsten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts dem königlichen Spiel verfiel und mit seinen Schachfiguren und -designs zeitlose Werke geschaffen hat.'Larry List ist der Schachgroßmeister der Man Ray Studien, und Permanent Attraction ist vollgepackt mit Forschungsergebnissen auf Meisterschaftsniveau.'Mark Polizzotti, Autor von Revolution of the Mind: The Life of André Breton and Why Surrealism Matters'Wunderschön geschrieben und sorgfältig recherchiert, füllt dieses Buch die letzte verbleibende Lücke in der Man Ray Forschung.
