The Three Young Girls and Death 1942

Hans Bellmer's 1942 work, *The Three Young Girls and Death*, is a surrealist piece that depicts three figures, one a skeleton, juxtaposed against a background of textured washes. The artwork’s fragmented forms evoke a sense of psychological unease, characteristic of Bellmer’s exploration of the human body and its anxieties. This haunting piece reflects the artist’s fascination with the darker aspects of human existence, and his exploration of themes of mortality and the subconscious.
