German photographer and surrealist artist. Hans Bellmer has been utilised as the main inspiration behind my FMP. His intentions where never really clear, some say his dolls were a way to vent his sexual frustration. It's also been said his dolls were meant to depict Nazist ideology. Whatever the reason Hans Bellmer was obsessed with female sexuality and interweaving genitalia into much of his work; particularly his sketches. I interpreted his work as a literal way of objectifying the female form.
