Hans Bellmer
1934 (ca)
The Doll

Gelatin silver print
5 3/4 x 5 7/16 ins

Bellmer's doll images undermined the nostalgic Nazi vision of undisturbed Aryan youth, faithful to family and nation. Bellmer's surrealistic representation of an interior rather than an exterior view made visible the internal terrors of human sexual obsessions and proclivities normally beyond the scope of photographic vision.
