Hi'ya skylight,

Welcome to TNet. If you're thinking of the modernist, formerly known as Emmanuel Radnitzky, I highly doubt it. The signature looks closer to "Mary Kay" to me.

Thank you, and thanks for your help. I am referring to Emmanuel Radnitzky. Some of his earlier work is similar to this (or so I am told), if anybody else has any ideas that would be a great help!

He was 24 when he painted the above. He gave up painting in 1917.

Here he is in 1910, in his studio: Dada in New York

I can definitely see there's a big difference, very much doubt it's man ray after seeing that, thanks
