Despite his father's expectations, he pursued a creative career. After working in a steel mill and a mine, he enrolled in the Technical University of Berlin in 1923, where he met George Grosz and John Heartfield.

Paris and the Influence of Surrealism

In 1925, on Grosz's advice, Bellmer abandoned his studies and moved to Paris, where he encountered Paul Eluard.

He began experimenting with photography and illustrated Minona's grotesque novel, "Railway Happiness, or Anti-Freud."

The Eroticized Doll

In the 1930s, Bellmer collaborated with Lotte Pritzel to create erotic and distorted doll images. Influenc Hans Bellmer: works and history - BUFUN
