Untitled, from the portfolio Femmes
1931, printed 1981
Gelatin silver print

Three interesting facts:
1. Man Ray was influenced by Cubism, Futurism, Dada and Surrealism.
(“Man Ray Biography, Art, and Analysis of Works.” The Art Story, www.theartstory.org/artist-ray-man.htm. )

2. He rediscovered how to make "cameraless" pictures, calling them rayographs by placing objects directly on light sensitive paper and then exposing that paper to light. (“Man Ray.” Encyclopædia Britannica, www.britannica.com/biography/Man-Ray. )

3. This piece was made with the gelatin silver printing process where paper serves as the base with a baryta layer sitting on top to separate the image-containing gelatin layer from the paper.

Tate Museum Glossary
2. Tate is useful because is collects the terms in an easy to use interface as well as includes links to examples of pieces that express that phrase.
3. I believe the website is reliable because it is associated with the Tate Museum. The museum is curated by a number of people who have devoted their lives to art history and preservation and have degrees which make them credible and unbiased.
4. Tone is about lightness and darkness in colors and can be used to create different emotions. The dark tone of the image makes use of the moody atmosphere of the woman in the picture.

Inspired by the liberation promoted by these groups, he experimented with many media. His experiments with photography included rediscovering how to make “cameraless” pictures, or photograms, which he called rayographs. He made them by placing objects directly on light-sensitive paper, which he exposed to light and developed. In 1922 a book of his collected rayographs, Les Champs délicieux (“The Delightful Fields”), was published, with an introduction by the influential Dada artist Tristan Tzara who admired the enigmatic quality of Man Ray’s images.

The paper essentially serves as a base, with the baryta layer (a surface preparation of barium sulfate) sitting on top to separate the image-containing gelatin layer from the paper support. The gelatin layer is made up of an emulsion that consists of light-sensitive silver compounds that form the image following exposure of the negative and development in a chemical bath. Another distinguishing feature is the smooth, even image surface. Photographers often use additional chemicals on gelatin silver prints in order to alter the range of tone and make the print more permanent.

Surrealism:   A literary, intellectual, and artistic movement that began in Paris in 1924 and was active through World War II. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s writings on psychology, Surrealists, led by André Breton, were interested in how the irrational, unconscious mind could move beyond the constraints of the rational world. Surrealism grew out of dissatisfaction with traditional social values and artistic practices after World War I.
Dada: An artistic and literary movement that grew out of dissatisfaction with traditional social values and conventional artistic practices during World War I (1914–18). Dada artists were disillusioned by the social values that led to the war and sought to expose accepted and often repressive conventions of order and logic by shocking people into self-awareness.
Futurism:  An Italian movement in art and literature, founded in 1909 by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, characterized by an aesthetic that glorified the mechanical world, war, and dynamic speed.

Le Violon was one of his most famous pieces and it was inspired by La Baigneuse Valpin which was made in the 1800's. Both of these pieces came from a photo wiki.
