专家说明

My dear Imogen,

Aside from being prejudiced in your favor since you included my portrait in your monograph (Aperture), your work, so extremely personal and therefor so universal, conveyed to me an emotion I haven't felt in most books of photographers. It is not merely photography, it coincides with my aim to choose the subject, to me more important than any task imposed upon me when I practised photography professionally.

It is curious that at the same time you did your studies of magnolias, I made this print (1925).

With best wishes and thanks,
Man Ray
