Character Evaluation

What made Hans Bellmer, a German painter and sculptor famous, was not his paintings or sculptures, but his doll photography. His hands present a nihilistic and decadent sentiment of life.

Character History

He grew up in a strict Christian family, and his father was a genius engineer and "tyrant". Hans and his brother Fritz were suppressed with hatred and fear. At the same time, the mother showers her children with abundant love. In this way, Bellmer pursues a kind of love in the family environment and the world under the pressure of strong opposition to authority. (Including toys and children's playgrounds) [1]

At his father's insistence, he worked in a steel factory and later passed the exam to obtain university entrance qualifications. However, Belmer has been in Poland from 22 to 23 years and has managed to do some art works and exhibitions. The works he did led to his arrest. While he was studying engineering at the Berlin Polytechnic, Bellmer met John Hatfield, Rudolf Schlichter and George Gross. Bellmore dropped out of school in 1924 to work as a book printer and then as an illustrator for Malick Publishing House. That winter, Bellmer went to Paris for the first time in his life.

Doll

In 1933, he continued to resist rejection, as was signed to work under fascism. To show his rejection of fascism and the aesthetics it spread, Hans Bellmer began constructing three-dimensional dolls of teenage girls composed of pornographic photographs.

In 1934, some of these works were published at his own expense, and others appeared in the Surrealist magazine 'le Minotaure', establishing Bellmer's important position among the Parisian Surrealists.

In 1938 Hans Bellmer moved to Paris and, together with Max Ernst, interned near the 'Lemiller' Aix camp where the Second World War broke out. While being expelled from the camp, Bellmer renounced his German citizenship and fled to Castres in 1941, where he married his second wife that same year. During the war years Bellmer had no drawings and increasingly developed a distinctive abstract style.

In 1943, 'Librairie Trentin' Bellmer had his first solo exhibition, at the Toulouse Bookstore. This was quickly followed by numerous international group exhibitions of Surrealism.

In the post-war era, Bellmer succeeded in rendering illusory dream colors in the subconscious, working with the masters with precision and soon complementing it with the influence and beauty of Mannerism. In Bellmer's mature later work, where craftsmanship became more refined, eroticism became more overt, in part because death was the opposite of desire.
