From the moment Man Ray arrived in Paris he was quickly absorbed into the social and artistic hierarchy of the epoch. First associated with the Dadaists, their group portrait taken by him in July 1921 established him as not only a competent but highly creative portrait photographer. By the middle of 1922 he was working for Vanity Fair and would do so for the following decade. Anyone who was considered a member of the social and artistic milieu of Paris in the 1920s and 1930s had their portrait taken by Man Ray. He approached each sitting in an imaginative and innovative way, not charging for those whose company he enjoyed. Of Giacometti Man Ray wrote “He could talk with lucid, voluble brilliance – on many subjects. I liked to sit with him in a café and watch as well as listen to him… a fine subject for my photographic portraiture.”
