This guy (Hans Bellmer)






I stumbled upon this guy while searching for twisted sculptures and shapes. It’s surely interesting to read his story. Wikipedia provides.
"Bellmer was born in the city of Kattowitz, then part of the German Empire (now Katowice, Poland). Up until 1926, he’d been working as a draftsman for his own advertising company. He initiated his doll project to oppose the fascism of the Nazi Party by declaring that he would make no work that would support the new German state. Represented by mutated forms and unconventional poses, his dolls were directed specifically at the cult of the perfect body then prominent in Germany…"
