Post Lot Text

Précieux témoignage des amitiés et de l’émulation qui caractérisent le mouvement surréaliste, cet ensemble d’œuvres sur papier de Hans Bellmer est resté dans la famille de l’artiste jusqu’à aujourd’hui.
Par la délicatesse des rehauts à la gouache et l’instantanéité des traits au graphite, les présents dessins incarnent toute la virtuosité et le talent de dessinateur de Bellmer.
Si le caractère intime de ces œuvres manifeste du lien entre Hans Bellmer et Hans Arp, Victor Brauner, Marcel Duchamp, Wifredo Lam, Man Ray ou encore Roberto Matta, cet ensemble émouvant laisse par ailleurs entrevoir la personnalité de certains des plus grand artistes des avant-gardes de la première moitié du XXe siècle.

Valuable evidence of the friendships and emulation characteristic of the Surrealist movement, this collection of works on paper by Hans Bellmer has remained with the artist’s family until now.
These drawings, with their delicate gouache highlights and the immediacy of the graphite-rendered features, exemplify Bellmer’s virtuoso drawing skills.
While the intimate character of these works demonstrates the tie between Hans Bellmer and Hans Arp, Victor Brauner, Marcel Duchamp, Wifredo Lam, Man Ray and Roberto Matta, this moving collection also provides a glimpse of the personalities of some of the greatest avant-garde artists of the first half of the 20th century.
