Title: Behind Closed Doors
First published: 2001
Description: "The life-size, adolescent-girl dolls created by the German artist Hans Bellmer in the 1930s are the subject of Therese Lichtenstein's highly original work. Disturbing and controversial, Bellmer's dolls - with their uncanny, fragmented bodies and eroticized poses - were just as shocking during Bellmer's time as they are today.

Until now there has been little available in English about Bellmer's dolls, and Lichtenstein's book will be welcomed for its fresh interpretations of the artist's work and his place in European modernism. Eighty striking photographs accompany the text."--BOOK JACKET.
