Man Ray - Challenge 4

I was inspired by the surrealist photographer Man Ray, born in Philadelphia in 1890 and died in Paris in 1976.
I used his photo called " le violon d'Ingres", a portrait of his friend Kiki de Montparnasse made in 1924. Man Ray himself was inspired by the french painter Jean-Auguste INGRES who made two paintings called "Bain Turc" and "La Baigneuse", where we can see also an almost naked woman wearing a turban.
The expression " le violon d"Ingres" in French is the equivalent of a hobby, or an passion. It seems that Ingres played frequently his violon when he didn't paint, that explains the signs on the back of the woman.

I used only Black & White with a little bit of sepia, while Man Ray made only B&W photo's

I used only some simple AAspnes brushes and warmglows.
Such interesting imagery! Love your take on the challenge! And thanks for all the extra info about the artist and his photography!
 
Great page for the challenge! So interesting. Really love the addition of the tree and the glows. Her figure is suggestive of a violin too.
