A cropped version of it with a single eye also appears as the first plate in a 1934 book of his photographs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like the emotive expression of a silent screen star in a film still, the woman's plaintive upward glance and mascara-encrusted lashes seem intended to invoke wonder at the cause of her distress. The face belongs to a fashion model who cries tears of glistening, round glass beads; the effect is to aestheticize the sentiment her tears would normally express. Man Ray made this photograph in Paris around the time of his breakup with his lover Lee Miller, and the woman's false tears may relate to that event in the artist's life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Man Ray (American, 1890-1976)\u003cbr\u003e Larmes (Tears), about 1932 \u003cbr\u003e Gelatin silver print, 22.9 × 22.8 cm (9 in x 11 3\/4 inches).\u003cbr\u003e 84.XM.230.2 \u003cbr\u003e Image © Man Ray Trust ARS-ADAGP.\u003cbr\u003e Magnet © 2022 J.
