Man Ray

“The eyes not only receive an outward image but give forth an image of an invisible thought; the nose breathes invisible odours that may affect all the other senses; arabesque and impenetrable ears, receptive only to invisible sounds that can inflame the brain, become stereauditory, just as the eyes are stereoscopic, the nose intensity and for surer receptivity. The voice is always monophonic; it need not to be stereophonic. And the hair, except in a few extreme cases, has fortunately escaped the usual sex taboos (pubic hairs), so that the eyes, hands and nose can explore and caress this crown, yielding like a consenting body. Finally, when the lips, two bodies fitting together in perfect harmony, when these lips break into a smile, they disclose the menacing barrier of the teeth, which nevertheless invited further exploration.”
(Man Ray, cited in: ‘Man Ray. Femmes’, ed. by Studio Marconi Editions, Milano 1981.)
