The Doll 1934

"The Doll" is a 1934 photograph by German artist Hans Bellmer, known for his surrealist explorations of the female form. The image depicts a doll-like figure with a distorted, almost grotesque face, draped in a black veil, with a single, large, black eye visible. The figure's anatomy is exaggerated and fragmented, reflecting Bellmer's fascination with the uncanny and the unsettling aspects of the human body. This work, along with Bellmer's other photomontages and sculptures, pushed the boundaries of artistic expression and contributed to the development of Surrealism in the 20th century.
