Man Ray Print | Knize Surrealist Fashion Photography Wall Art
This Man Ray print — Knize — is an advertising commission for the Viennese tailor Knize, transformed by Man Ray’s surrealist eye into something that transcends its commercial origin entirely.
Avant-garde photo print that operates simultaneously as fashion photography and Surrealist art: Man Ray Knize print as vintage fashion photography where the product is almost incidental — Surrealist photography art made by the man who invented solarization, the rayograph, and the modern idea of fashion as visual concept.

How to Care for Your Print
Follow these steps to keep your print looking gallery fresh for decades.
Handling
Allow rolled prints to relax flat for 30 to 60 minutes. Handle by the edges with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the printed surface.
Placement
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources and high humidity areas. North-facing walls receive less UV. Use LED or incandescent lighting instead of fluorescent.
Framing
Use acid-free mats and UV protective glass or acrylic for maximum longevity. Leave a small gap between print and glazing for airflow.
Cleaning
Dust framed glass with a soft cloth. Spray the cloth, not the glass. For unframed prints, use a dry microfibre cloth and never apply liquids to the surface.
Climate
Keep temperature at 18–24 °C and humidity at 40–60%. Avoid attics, basements and garages where conditions swing widely.
Storage
Store flat in acid-free folders, interleaved with tissue paper, in a cool dark place. Never fold. Check stored prints annually.
⚠️ Avoid
- Prolonged direct sunlight or fluorescent lighting.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and areas above heat sources.
- Tape, adhesives or liquids applied directly to the print.
- Rolling with the image facing inward as this can crack the ink layer.
- Extreme or rapid temperature and humidity changes.
📊 Expected Lifespan
- 100+ years when framed with UV protective glazing and indirect light.
- 50–75 years when framed with standard glass and indirect light.
- 25–50 years when stored correctly in darkness.
This Man Ray print began as a commercial assignment — Knize, the Viennese tailor with a Paris boutique designed by Adolf Loos, required advertising photography — and arrived somewhere else entirely. Man Ray brought to every commission the same visual intelligence he applied to his fine art: the result is an avant-garde photo print that uses the conventions of fashion photography as raw material for a Surrealist image. This Man Ray Knize print is vintage fashion photography that stopped being advertising the moment the shutter closed. This Man Ray print is Surrealist photography art with a commercial address and no commercial limits.
Man Ray worked across Paris between the 1920s and 1940s at the absolute centre of the Surrealist movement — friend to Duchamp, Picasso, Breton, Kiki de Montparnasse — and his fashion commissions for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and private clients like Knize carry that context into every frame.
