Description

The only complete illustrated biography of Hans Bellmer, with a detailed analysis of his oeuvre. Featuring many of Bellmers surreal/erotic drawings, paintings and sculptures as well as his classic series of Doll photographs, it is also the complete story of Bellmers remarkable life, from Nazi Germany to the inner circle of the Paris Surrealists, a fascinating story encompassing the history of both surreal and erotic art and literature. De Sade, Bataille, Jean de Berg and Andr Pieyre de Mandiargues are just some of the authors whose work Bellmer illuminated with his perverse and complex ilustrations. And with his legendary Doll, Bellmer established one of the most disturbing creations in modern art; his text, The Anatomy of the Image, remains crucial to understanding the reciprocity betwen body and imagination. completely updated and revised edition of the standard work on Bellmer. Solar Art Directives 2. originally published by Quartet, 1985, as Hans Bellmer
