In this surreal black & white photograph, a nude woman is dreaming about her lover whose lips are floating in the sky above the Paris observatory. At the woman's feet a chess board is placed revealing the grid, the structure of life. Man Ray loved to play chess. For him the grid of the chess game symbolizes structure. He considered a grid of squares as the "basis of all art helping to understand the sense of order". The lips in the skies of Man Ray's artwork inspired the logo of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and other iconic images of Pop culture in the postmodern era.
