Behind Closed Doors: The Art of Hans Bellmer (The Discovery Series)

The disturbing work of Hans Bellmer is the focus of this scholarly book, in which Lichtenstein examines the complex underlying narratives at play in Bellmer's art. Working during the rise of Nazism, Bellmer's life-sized dolls, which he built and then photographed, become the focal center of confusion, hatred, and repressed sexuality. A masterful look at a complex artist.
