"Man Ray used separate negatives of a nude torso and a photographer's lamp to create this dreamscape. Shadows and reflections make the subject of the work ambiguous: the light bulb in the center could be a doorknob or a crystal ball. The piece is particularly successful in creating the illusion of three-dimensionality on flat paper." (Courtesy: Getty Museum).
