Hans Bellmer: The Doll (Atlas Anti-classics)

German artist Hans Bellmer (1902â€“1975) was one of the most subversive artists associated with Surrealism, famous--notorious, even--for his erotic engravings, objects and photographs. The first edition of The Doll comprised a series of Bellmerâ€™s photographs â€œillustratedâ€ with prose poems by Paul Ã‰luard; Bellmerâ€™s hand-colored photographs subsequently acquired an iconic status as perhaps the purest exemplification of the Surrealist ideal of â€œconvulsive beauty.â€ Later editions of the book were expanded to incorporate a body of theoretical, poetic and speculative texts that together comprise one of the most important expositions of Surrealist cultural theory. Bellmer weaves a remarkably disparate set of concepts and intuitions--from fields as diverse as mathematics, morphology, optics and psychology--into a theory of eroticism that provides a totally unexpected rationale for his uncompromising art. His ideas are, in the words of poet JoÃ« Bousquet, a â€œscandal to reason.â€ This English edition follows Bellmerâ€™s original, the texts having been translated for the first time--by Malcolm Green, who also provides an introduction--from the final German version.
