I came across Hans Bellmer before with my pervious photographer Jessica Ledwich as he was one of her influences. Bellmer was a German photographer who was known for his life size pubescent female dolls. He also specialised in surrealism as well as the other photographs on this list. Bellmer work was meant to reflected on what he felt was disturbing however, some found his work and expression of the limits for human sexuality while other believes his objectify the female body to capture male sexual graze.
I found this work disturbing and distorted. It appears to be a naked woman hanging herself on the tree in my opinion. The used of low angle made the subject look more distorted and uncomfortable to me. The tree behind the women act as a leading like for the audience to focus on the subject. The title of this photograph was “The Doll” however the original title was “La Poupee”. The medium of this photograph is black and white and ink on paper.
