| Brief Information |
Hans Bellmer was a German surrealist artist, photographer, and sculptor, best known for his series of highly disturbing and provocative "dolls" (poupées). His work explored themes of desire, sexuality, and the uncanny, often subverting traditional representations of the female form. Bellmer's unique artistic vision significantly contributed to the Surrealist movement, particularly through his unsettling exploration of psychological and sexual anxieties. |
