λ HANS BELLMER (GERMAN 1902-1975) DORIANE (CHAPEAU-FILLES)Etching, 1969Signed in pencil and numbered 5/100, published by Galerie A.F. Petit Plate 29 x 22.5cm (11¼ x 8¾ in.)Literature:Denoel, Hans Bellmer, Oeuvre Grave, 1969, illus. p.107Hans Bellmer was a German artist known for his provocative and surrealistic sculptures, drawings, and photographs. Emerging in the 1930s, Bellmer's work often explored themes of desire, sexuality, and the subconscious mind. He gained international recognition for his La Poupée series, which featured unsettling and meticulously crafted dolls with interchangeable parts, arranged in surreal and sometimes disturbing compositions. His work was deeply influenced by his own experiences during the war, and his interest in psychoanalysis, particularly the theories of Sigmund Freud. During the Second World War, his work was declared degenerate by the Nazi party, and Bellmer fled to France in 1938, where his work was received by André Breton and the Surrealists with interest. He was fascinated by their experimentation of multifaceted planes of perspective, which influenced some of his later works. Bellmer's work has been exhibited in Europe and the United States, with multiple solo shows showcasing his photography, dolls and paintings. Highlights include solo shows at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago in 1975, the Centre Georges Pompidou in 2006, and at the Washington D.C Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in 2016.
