“Self-Portrait Assemblage” is an artwork created by the artist Man Ray in the year 1916. This piece belongs to the Dada art movement and falls under the figurative genre.
The artwork exhibits a unique assemblage that includes a handprint placed centrally on a geometrically shaped surface, suggesting subtle human representation. Above the handprint, two circular objects are positioned in a manner that evokes the perception of eyes, creating a simplistic yet powerful facial structure. The use of such mundane objects and the abstract form exemplifies the avant-garde characteristics of Dada, challenging traditional artistic conventions. The overall tone is both enigmatic and playful, embodying the spirit of the Dada movement, which sought to question and redefine art during that era.
