The abstract qualities of Man Ray's portraits act as a borderline between photography and drawing/painting. With unusual skin tones and the use of solarisation, Man Ray is adding a unique style of depth to his subject's character; like they are drawings coming to life. The sheer abstract nature in general makes the portraits far more engaging as it is as if he scratching beneath the surface of his subject; revealing their true beauty and grotesque qualities.
