The Black Tray — Fine Art

The Black Tray by Man Ray shows a dark flat shape set against a lighter ground. The surface is smooth and the edges are simple. The picture belongs to the surrealist period when ordinary objects were placed in new settings. The picture keeps the forms plain and direct.

This fine art print is set in a frame with a back panel. The paper holds the dark tone without a shine under a lamp. When the ready to hang option is used, the print arrives assembled and ready to place on a wall.

On a kitchen wall above the sink, the dark shape stands out against the pale tiles. From the doorway you notice the simple outline first, then the quiet tone across the surface.
