Description
"The Surrealists' fascination for dolls and machines resembling humans is especially evident in the work of Hans Bellmer (1902-1975). Rejecting the Nazis' Aryan ideals, the artist began creating disturbing dolls from wax, wood, flax, plaster and glue in 1933. This comprehensive monograph, containing new analytical essays by curators Agnes de la Beaumelle and Alain Sayag, and historian Weiland Schmied, as well as a detailed chronology of the artist's life, provides insight into the work of this master of Surrealism."--BOOK JACKET.
