WALLIS SIMPSON by MAN RAY

Man Ray may now be best known as a Dadaist and Surrealist, but during the 1930s he was also a conventional society photographer. No surprise, then, that he photographed Wallis Simpson:

Wallis by Man Ray, 1935.


The Society Lady of 1935. Wallis was in her late thirties at this point -
and married to Ernest Simpson.


Wallis by Man Ray, 1936. A very different look, either commemorating
Wallis' "Nights in Shanghai" or prefiguring her ""Very Fascist" fashion phase.
