Description: DETAILS: Original first edition. Hard cover with dust jacket. REVIEW: The Surrealists’ fascination for dolls and machines resembling humans is especially evident in the work of Hans Bellmer (1902–1975), the subject of this comprehensive monograph. Rejecting German Fascist ideals, the artist began in 1933 to create disturbing dolls out of wax, wood, flax, plaster, and glue, equipped with wigs and glass eyes. Photographs of these fetishistic objects were published in Minotaure, the Surrealists’ magazine, and eagerly supported by members of André Breton’s circle. After emigrating to Paris, Bellmer developed his erotic obsessions through art, influenced by the writings of the Marquis de Sade and Georges Bataille, and collaborated with his companion, the German artist Unica Zürn. Deeply involved in Freudian discourse, his drawings, lithographs, and photographs investigate psychoanalytical theories around hysteria and transference, and reveal a singular exploration into the relationship between language and body. A series of exhibits followed the publicatioon of this work. The following is a list of the showing: Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, March 1–May 22, 2006 · Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München, Munich, June 29–August 27, 2006·· Whitechapel Art Gallery, London, September 20–November 19, 2006 Oxxbridge Galleries Established 1987 Oxxbridge Galleries was founded in 1987 and specializes in vintage paper items with a particular focus on counter culture materials.
