Contextual: Hans Bellmer

Hans Bellmer (13 March 1902 - 23 February 1975)

"He initiated his doll project to oppose the fascism of the Nazi Party by declaring that he would make no work that would support the new German state. Represented by mutated forms and unconventional poses, his dolls were directed specifically at the cult of the perfect body then prominent in Germany."
