Hans BELLMER (1902-1975)
Autograph letter signed to Christian d"Orgeix and text by Jean Cocteau Portraits of Bellmer copied by the hand of Hans Bellmer. April 20, 1954, two pages in 8. Autograph letter to Christian d"Orgeix signed in ink by Bellmer... "I had an idea (less expensive than any other) about the justification: to have the new justification overprinted, in dark green for example, on the old one... I have just received this text from Cocteau. We could have the idea of attaching it to the collection as an outside text" Bellmer copied in its entirety the text by Jean Cocteau written in 1954 for the "portraits of Bellmer". "It is not important to be beautiful. It is important to be similar. That is what a mirror says... as sunlight comes from a decomposition, Bellmer"s portraits are born from a soul that is consumed....Michel Simon is Bellmer. Bellmer is Michel Simon - Joe Bousquet, Max Ernst, Ernst Schröder, Will Grohmann, Unica Zürn - it is Bellmer - it is him, it is you - it is death that loves us and works on us". SUPERB DOCUMENT
