"The Doll (Maquette for The Doll's Games)" is a 1938 photograph by German artist Hans Bellmer. Known for his surrealist sculptures and photographs, Bellmer created a series of works featuring dismembered and contorted dolls. The doll's body is rendered in a disturbingly realistic manner, emphasizing a twisted and unsettling form. Bellmer's work is characterized by its exploration of the body and its fragmented nature. The doll, as a metaphor for childhood and innocence, becomes a vehicle for exploring themes of sexuality, identity, and the subconscious.
