{"product_id":"the-doll-atlas-anti-classic-14","title":"The Doll (Atlas Anti-Classic 14)","description":"158, [2] pp. Translated fro the original German by Malcolm Green. 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. The first edition of The Doll comprised a series of Bellmer's photographs 'illustrated' with prose poems by Paul Eluard; Bellmer’s hand-colored photographs subsequently acquired an iconic status as perhaps the purest exemplification of the Surrealist ideal of 'convulsive beauty.' Later editions of the book were expanded to incorporate a body of theoretical, poetic and speculative texts that together comprise one of the most important expositions of Surrealist cultural theory. 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. Includes a suite of poems by Paul Eluard, 15 colour and 10 black and white photographs, plus numerous line drawings.","brand":"Atlas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42031676031046,"sku":"2345773","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/files\/2345773.jpg?v=1723294245","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/the-doll-atlas-anti-classic-14","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
