Summary:
German artist Hans Bellmer (1902–1975) was one of the most subversive artists associated with Surrealism, famous - notorious, even - for his erotic engravings, objects and photographs. Bellmer weaves a remarkably disparate set of concepts and intuitions - from fields as diverse as mathematics, morphology, optics and psychology - into a theory of eroticism that provides a totally unexpected rationale for his uncompromising art. His ideas are, in the words of poet Joë Bousquet, a “scandal to reason.” This English edition follows Bellmer’s original, the texts having been translated for the first time by Malcolm Green, who also provides an introduction from the final German version.
