The German-born surrealist Hans Bellmer (1902-1975),best konwn for his life-size pubescenbt dolls, devoted an artistic lifetime to creating sexualized images of female body-distorted, dismemebererd, or menaced in sinister scenarios. In this book Sue Taylor draws on psychoanalytic theory to suggest why Bellmar was so driven by erotomania as well as desire for revenge, suffering, and the safety of the womb.
