Permanent Attraction: Man Ray & Chess: Dada & Surrealist Chess Art de Larry List

Permanent Attraction: Man Ray & Chess: Dada & Surrealist Chess Art

Autor Larry List Cuvânt înainte de Francis M. Naumann
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 2025
Man Ray war Zeit seines Lebens bessessen vom Schach. Er spielte nicht nur, sondern entwarf auch eigene Sets an Figuren und schuf Kunstwerke, die sich mit dem Spiel, seinen Figuren und der Ästhetik beschäftigen. Die Publikation entführt in einen abgeschlossenen Kosmos innerhalb des beeindruckenden Oeuvres von Man Ray.


Man Rays Schachbilder sind so begehrt wie seine innovativen Fotografien. Der Maharadscha von Indore, Igor Strawinsky oder David Bowie sammelten sie. Heute befinden sie sich in den bedeutendsten Kunstsammlungen der Welt - dem Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, Centre Georges Pompidou und anderen - und werden auf der ganzen Welt geschätzt. Die reich bebilderte Publikation zeigt wann, wie und warum einer der einflussreichsten Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts dem königlichen Spiel verfiel und mit seinen Schachfiguren und -designs zeitlose Werke geschaffen hat.

"Larry List ist der Schachgroßmeister der Man Ray Studien, und Permanent Attraction ist vollgepackt mit Forschungsergebnissen auf Meisterschaftsniveau."
Mark Polizzotti, Autor von Revolution of the Mind: The Life of André Breton and Why Surrealism Matters

"Wunderschön geschrieben und sorgfältig recherchiert, füllt dieses Buch die letzte verbleibende Lücke in der Man Ray Forschung. Es ist eine Pflichtlektüre für jeden, der sich für die Geschichte der modernen Kunst und des Schachs interessiert."
Michae R. Taylor, künstlerischer Leiter des Virginia Museum of Fine Arts und Kurator von Man Ray: The Paris Years, Marcel Duchamp: Étant donnés und Arshile Gorky: A Retrospective.

Recenzii

"Both learned and sumptuous. List does a marvelous job of placing Ray’s work in the context of both the avant-garde and its influence on later artists."

“Permanent Attraction doesn't just expand our understanding of Man Ray's career--it shifts it into new realms of industrial production methods, formal invention, and relationships formed through chess.”

"Larry List is the chess grandmaster of Man Ray studies. Permanent Attraction is jam-packed with championship-level scholarship."

"Beautifully written and meticulously researched, it fills the last remaining gap in Man Ray scholarship. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of modern art, design, or chess."

"Artist Man Ray combined flashes of inspiration with methodical application. No wonder that he was drawn to the game of chess, which demands both. Larry List's inspired idea was to investigate the chess-related aspects of Man Ray's multi-faceted career. He has plumbed the subject with a thoroughness worthy of the master, giving us many enlightening and entertaining insights."

"This text and its combination of images presents such a thorough, comprehensive inventory of all the chess-related art that Man Ray produced that it would now seem inconceivable that anyone would attempt to understand the totality of his artistic production without consulting it."

"This book does not offer chess tactics or strategy but instead offers chess inspiration by showcasing the complex beauties of bold chess set designs and artworks made by a 20th century master with a lifelong passion for chess. It is a fine addition to our chess libraries." 

"A fantastic new book - already a collector's item! Extraordinarily painstaking work, solid and attractive. Lavishly filled with illustrations, color photos and even illustrated end papers. This book delights a collector's heart. I am really impressed." 

"What preciseness of data. There is so much important and surprising information and imagery in this book." 

"A beautiful book and a delightful, clever way of re-examining Man Ray's work. A study of his unique and dedicated relationship to chess was totally lacking until now. Fortunately, this gap has at last been filled with this extensive independent research. It cannot leave anyone indifferent to the facts. It is a pleasure to discover this work."

"A fine work of research. And a clear and animating text. It shows how valuable it is to join the approaches of both a researcher and a maker of objects." 

"At last, a wonderful Man Ray chess book. What an achievement, it is beautiful." 

"It is thorough and scholarly but not an academic read. No buzz words or theory, just good plain research. And the footnotes are the best; a history of modernity and also the evolution of commercial photomechanical technology."
