Artist
Painting
German artist Hans Bellmer experimented with Surrealist sculptural forms in the early decades of the 20th century. He sustained a lifelong fascination with images of manipulated, contorted, disfigured or bound forms of girls and women in drawings, paintings, photograph, and sculptures. He was best known for his life size dolls resembling disassembled mannequins, which he developed in response to the Nazi regime’s obsession with physical perfection.
