Just eggs for #NationalEggDay.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Man Ray made these photographs. He was an American artist who spent most of his career in Paris, where he was known for his affiliations with the Dada and Surrealist movements. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ While he was more dedicated to the "creative idea" than any specific medium, he regularly returned to favorite motifs, such as the ostrich eggs shown in these two photographs. He found the ability of nature to create symmetrical forms fascinating, particularly in the case of eggs. Their shells are hard but fragile, easily broken when hatching a baby chick or when dropped.⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ 🏷️ #photograhy #surrealism #art #manray #eggs #blackandwhite #photo #gettymuseum #paris #artist⁠⁠
