Abstract

The aim was to discuss the category of the object and its dimensions in the work of Hans Bellmer (1902-1975). Bellmer was a German artist linked to French Surrealism. Through the reading of texts such as “The Doll”, “The Doll's Games”, and Anatomy of the Image (1957), we proposed to analyze the idea of "object" present in the visual works or projects Die Puppe and Diana von Ephesus, both composed of paintings, photographs, and sculptures produced during the 1930s and 1950s. These works are examples of the artist's attitude of transforming familiar objects, such as a simple spinning top, into reflections of anatomy. By doing that, he could represent the strange, subversive qualities of the objects available to humankind. From this attitude arises what one can call "provocative object", a category of the surrealist object from Paul Éluard's words on Die Puppe.
