A landmark publication dedicated to Hans Bellmer, this special issue of Obliques stands as one of the most comprehensive monographs produced on the artist during his lifetime.
Published in 1979 in Paris by Éditions Borderie, the volume brings together an extensive body of material that situates Bellmer’s work within the broader frameworks of Surrealism, psychoanalysis, and avant-garde practice. Best known for his provocative “Doll” photographs and drawings, Bellmer’s exploration of desire, fragmentation, and the body is examined here through a combination of essays, critical studies, and visual documentation.
Richly illustrated with numerous black-and-white images and selected color reproductions, the publication offers a dense and layered reading of Bellmer’s practice. Contributions presented in French, with some bilingual French/German texts, reflect the intellectual discourse surrounding his work in the late 1970s—capturing both its historical grounding and its continued critical resonance.
As part of the experimental French review Obliques, this special issue extends beyond a conventional monograph, functioning as both scholarly resource and cultural artifact. It preserves the critical reception of Bellmer’s work at a pivotal moment, while also reinforcing its lasting influence on contemporary art, photography, and discourses around the body and identity.
A key reference for collectors, researchers, and those engaged with Surrealist and postwar visual culture.

Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.

The Story
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
