==Innovations== Man Ray was responsible for several technical innovations in modern art, filmmaking, and photography. These included his use of [[photogram]]s to produce surrealist images he called "Rayograms", and [[Sabattier effect|solarization]] (rediscovered with Lee Miller). His 1923 experimental film ''Le Retour Γ la raison'' was the first 'cine-rayograph', a motion picture made without the use of a camera.<ref>Foresta, M. (2003). "Man Ray".
