false 764141 1 The Surrealists' fascination with dolls and machines that resembled humans is especially evident in the work of Hans Bellmer (1902-1975), the subject of this comprehensive monograph. Rejecting the Nazis' Aryan ideals, the artist spent the years after 1933 creating disturbing dolls out of wax, wood, flax, plaster and glue--equipped with wigs and glass eyes. Photographs of these fetishistic simulacra were published in Minotaure, the Surrealists' magazine, and eagerly supported by members of Andre Breton's circle. After immigrating to Paris, Bellmer continued to develop his erotic obsessions through his art, now influenced by the writings of the Marquis de Sade and Georges Bataille, and began to collaborate with his companion, the German artist Unica Zurn. Deeply involved in Freudian discourse, his drawings, lithographs and photographs investigate psychoanalytic theories around hysteria and transference and reveal a singular exploration into the relationship between language and the body. 750222 15 10 2006 Hans Bellmer total:18|5:13|4:5| 18 85 24 4 4 1 false false Wed Jan 02 18:14:30 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 04:54:21 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Sat Jun 27 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 20:52:50 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 28 10:39:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Feb 02 12:52:47 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 09:52:18 -0800 2008 Hans Bellmer.
