SlideshowFlying Dutchman
Oil On Canvas- WallArt

1920- Modern

Metropolitan Museum of Art
Rendered directly with a palette knife, Man Ray’s Flying Dutchman encroaches on pure abstraction and, in keeping with the Dada spirit of rebellion against tradition, manifests the artist’s rejection of conventional easel painting with a brush. He derived this composition from a photograph he captured of sheets hanging from a clothesline in the backyard of a New York slum. The painting’s title suggests that the image of sheets blowing in the wind reminded him of ship sails and, more specifically, of the celebrated and tragic opera by Richard Wagner (1813–1883), The Flying Dutchman, based on the legend of a ghost ship doomed to sail aimlessly forever, its sails in tatters.
