Man Rays' work could be labeled a modernist approach to photography because of his attentive detail to form, structure, composition and lighting. He looks at the subject as shapes and lines; as a visual structure.
Man Ray took the photograph above called 'Larmes' in Paris 1930. This was at the time of the break up with his then Lover Lee Miller. It can be said the false tears maybe in some what in relation to his emotions and situation at the time.
As you can see this photograph is a film still and visualises a new style of photographic genre that is not concerned with what is real and factual, but more about the conceptual idea behind the image.
