About Untitled (Double-Sided Portrait of Unica Zürn) (verso)

The artwork titled “Untitled (Double-Sided Portrait of Unica Zürn) (verso)” was created by the artist Hans Bellmer in 1954. It is a notable piece within the Surrealism art movement and falls under the genre of portraiture.

The artwork features a complex line drawing, presenting a surreal and abstract representation of a figure. The left side of the piece depicts a full-body figure outlined in a delicate yet intricate manner, while the right side illustrates a large fragmented face, adding to the surreal and somewhat disjointed composition. The use of white lines on a darker background creates a stark contrast, emphasizing the ethereal and otherworldly qualities typical of Surrealist works. The overlapping lines and fragmented forms invite the viewer to contemplate the deeper psychological layers within the portrait.
