Project 4 : Hans Bellmer

Hans Bellmer ' La poupee' ( the doll) 1935




My detailed painting in response to Hans Bellmer.







Photo response and visual annotations.

Hans Bellmer inspired my photos. I emphasised body parts, bulking out joints. This gave the photos a distorted quality, creating a similar Hans Belmmer doll like feel to the photos.

Hans Bellmer constructs surreal doll like sculptures, with a perverse sexual twist, with explicit body parts on show. His dolls are a symbol of childhood, feminity, sexual fanatsy and political victimisation. His dolls, with thier distorted bodys have an eery quality. The deformed limbs and extra body parts give off a sense of surrealism.
