and his consorts

Man Ray, a forerunner of both the Dada and Surrealist movements, was born today: August 27th. A prolific photographer and artist, he also coined the term "readymades" to signify found objects.

Two of his most celebrated lovers were: Kiki de Montparnasse, a famous Parisian singer and bohemian; and Lee Miller, also a photographer in her own right. In Le Violin d'Inges, he's executed the photograph of Kiki in the style of Ingres. The photo of Lee Miller is for debauchette. Rightly so, she has a thing for Lee Miller's jaw line.
