The artwork entitled “Long Distance,” created by Man Ray in 1926, is part of the “Revolving Doors” portfolio. This piece belongs to the Abstract Art movement and falls under the abstract genre. As a notable work within the “Revolving Doors” series, it exemplifies the distinctive style characteristic of Man Ray’s artistic exploration during this period.
In the artwork, the composition is defined by a series of geometric shapes and vivid colors set against a neutral background. Central to the piece is a large, elongated blue shape, which intersects with a multi-colored, trapezoidal form. The overlapping shapes create a dynamic visual effect, while the use of primary and secondary colors enhances the contrast and vibrancy of the composition. Fine lines extend from the geometric forms, converging at points that contribute to the sense of balance and movement within the artwork. The minimalist approach, combined with the strategic placement of colors and shapes, embodies the essence of abstract art and highlights Man Ray’s innovative vision.
