Answer:

Man Ray

Step-by-step explanation:

Man ray created a work of art in which he disarranged objects from their everyday settings to create something unusual out of it to amaze the viewers. The sculpture (Gift) made by him was unique, his idea was to sabotage the actual function of iron by gluing brass tacks in a column in the center. The purpose of this surrealist sculpture was to deny the original purpose and function of the objects and transform it from being useful to a very destructive one. Secondly it has a symbolic connotation attached to it. It could be interpreted as a violent attack on the social expectations of the middle class people.
