Les Champs delicieux or The Delightful Fields was a rather strange book of rather strange pictures called rayographs produced in 1922 by the rather strange artistic genus Man Ray (1890-1976). The pictures are abstracts produced by contact printing three dimensional bric-a-brac directly onto photographic paper of film. While Ray had been born in America, he did most of his work and had most of his influence in France, the hub of photography and art. Estimated basic value: $275
