The artwork titled “Plate from La Poupée” was created by the artist Hans Bellmer in 1936. This piece is associated with the Dada and Surrealism art movements and is categorized under the photo genre.
The artwork presents an unsettling and surreal composition featuring disjointed doll parts arranged in a peculiar fashion. Central to this composition are what appear to be a pair of legs and a single arm, positioned against a richly patterned fabric background. The doll parts are adorned with lace and a prominent rose, further contribute to the eerie and dreamlike quality of the piece. The juxtaposition of these elements evokes a sense of unease, characteristic of both Dada and Surrealism, challenging conventional notions of beauty and formality.
