Hans Bellmer - Dolls against Fascism

This German photographer lived through WWII and was so against Fascism that he started making dolls to counter the perfect beauty that was so sought by the Germany of the time. Some of the images are quite grotesque and eerie.


He had an eye for crating the unusual that's for sure. So I have to admit that with one day to go before I need to show some images and have a short speech done I am lost as to a theme to follow. Do I go for the Gothic, the unusual with props, or portraits that are partial parts of dolls. I think the later is what it most appealing, but do I have enough dolls to create the 10 i will need?
