La Pêche (Peach) 1931

"La Pêche (Peach)" is a 1931 black and white photograph by Man Ray, a prominent figure in the Surrealist movement. This simple composition featuring a peach nestled amongst leaves is a classic example of Ray's exploration of the commonplace, finding beauty in the everyday and blurring the lines between reality and dreams. With stark contrasts and meticulous detail, the image captures the essence of the fruit, highlighting its roundness and velvety texture, and invites the viewer to contemplate its form and meaning.
