The Doll

Hans Bellmer (1902-1975)

Synopsis

Hans Bellmer's "The Doll" delves into themes of eroticism and surrealism, highlighted by provocative photography that encapsulates the Surrealist notion of “convulsive beauty”. The book includes 15 color and 10 black-and-white photographs, along with Paul Eluard's poems and line drawings. Bellmer's work from the 1930s to 1960s merges diverse concepts, such as the body, psychology, and optics, into a daring theory of eroticism that challenges reason. Accompanied by his theoretical writings, this English edition faithfully translates the original German texts, offering crucial insight into Bellmer's controversial and influential art.
