Bellmer was a German artist, best known for the life-sized pubescent female dolls he produced in the mid-1930s – but it’s this little illustration that caught my eye.

Couldn’t resist this fleshy little number.
Jan Saudek
Today I came across the work of Jan Saudek, a Czech art photographer and painter who has been image making for over sixty years. He has a distinctive painterly style to his work and covers a wide and sometimes controversial subject matter. His chronological portfolio of work can be seen here.
Some interesting Wiki information on Jan:
His early art photography is noted for its evocation of childhood. Later his works often portrayed the evolution from child to adult (re-photographing the same composition/pose, and with the same subjects, over many years). Religious motives or the ambiguity between man and woman have also been some of Jan Saudek’s recurring themes. His work was the subject of attempts at censorship in the West during the 1990s.
I have found these images from various sources on Tumblr.

Zbigniew Łagocki
Just a few examples of the work of Polish Architect and photographer Zbigniew Łagocki.
He took photographs all his life, set up solo and group exhibitions and entered photografic contests. During the International Biennal Art Exhibition in Sao Paulo in Brasil Łagocki was awarded gold medal for the photographic series “Aerotica”. In 1968 he was an organizer, inviting Zbigniew Dłubak as his collaborator, of the famed exhibition of Polish Subjective Photography.
