Rechtes von Bellmer signiert.- Hans Bellmer Fotograf Bildhauer Maler und Autor 1902 – 1975 wird in Kattowitz Polen geboren. Auf Drängen seines Vaters arbeitet er einige Zeit in einem Stahlwerk und im Kohlebergbau. 1923 beginnt Bellmer ein Studium an der Technischen Hochschule in Berlin interessiert sich aber mehr für Kunst und Politik. Auf Anraten seines Zeichenlehrers George Grosz bricht Bellmer 1924 sein Ingenieurstudium ab und beginnt eine Typografenlehre beim Malik-Verlag in Berlin. Dort fertigt er u.a. Illustrationen für dadaistische Romane an. In den späten 1920er Jahren bereist Bellmer Länder wie Frankreich Italien und Tunesien. 1923 eröffnet er ein Atelier für Werbezeichnungen in Berlin das er 1933 aus politischen Gründen aufgibt. Ab den 1930er Jahren widmet sich Bellmer seiner künstlerischen Laufbahn. Er beschäftigt sich mit der erotischen Darstellung der weiblichen Anatomie die er jedoch meist auf entstellte Weise in Zeichnungen Skulpturen und Fotografien zeigt. So konstruiert er Puppen mit geschundenen Körpern die wirken als ob ihre Gliedmaßen abgetrennt und neu arrangiert worden wären. Sein Werk Doll von 1933 zerstört er später und fotografiert es in verschiedenen erotischen Posen. Bellmer veröffentlicht eine Sammlung von zehn dieser Bilder mit Begleittext 1934 in Die Puppe und reicht eine Kopie beim Pariser Surrealismus Magazin Le Minotaure ein. Die Veröffentlichung dieser Arbeit festigt Bellmers Ansehen in der Surrealimus-Bewegung. 1938 emigriert Bellmer nach Paris. Seine erste Soloausstellung findet 1943 in dem Buchladen „Librairie Trentin“ in Toulouse statt. Seitdem werden Bellmers Arbeiten in zahlreichen Museen und Galerien weltweit gezeigt beispielsweise in der Whitechapel Gallery in London der Neuen Nationalgalerie in Berlin und dem Museum of Modern Art in New York. Hans Bellmer stirbt am 24. Februar 1975 in Paris. 010 Stuttgart, DVA, ca. 1970 unknown

Ducasse's only other publication 'Poésies' was issued in two separate parts in 1870 shortly before the author's death.'In the Anthologie de l'Humeur Noir Breton wrote: 'In the eyes of certain poets today Les Chants de Maldoror and Poésies shine with an incomparable brilliance. They are the expression of a total revelation which seems to exceed the possibilities of man . Language rather than style undergoes with Lautréamont a profound crisis; it begins again.' His imagery with its hallucinatory force his far-fetched analogies his use of art as a means of confronting life his rejection of conventional morality and modes of thinking were all qualities the surrealists found deeply sympathetic. He seemed to them to be the real progenitor of the surrealist spirit.' Dawn Ades - Dada and Surrealism Reviewed. Pierre Belfond. hardcover
