	Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter : MERET OPPENHEIM
		Oppenheim - one of the great surrealists and one of the few female modernist artists whose name has gone down in history - has been the subject of much interest in recent years.
		Throughout her life, Meret Oppenheim criticised with ever increasing intensity the restrictions that she felt stood in the way of women, and not least women artists.
		Oppenheim was moreover a key source of inspiration for many later artists.

	Eurozine - du 2/2001
		Meret Oppenheim's Le déjeuner en fourrure, her fur teacup, won the artist overnight renown in 1936; Man Ray's photographs made during this period, which display Meret Oppenheim's boyish beauty in a series of nude poses, accelerated the fame of an artist who had been hyped up into a muse.
		Meret Oppenheim (1913 Berlin - 1985 Basel) was one of the few women of her generation to know international recognition during her lifetime, and was to become a model for many female artists.
		Meret Oppenheim herself, twenty-one at the time, surely never dreamt that these pictures would lay the foundation for her own myth when she agreed to pose for a series of nude photos by Man Ray in 1933.

	Meret Oppenheim \| Biography (1913 - 1985)
		Oppenheim took the latter's example to heart, decided at an early age not to marry at all or at least not until later in life, and began hiding a sketchbook inside her hymnal during long and tedious church services.
		The objects that insured her place in subsequent histories of the movement offer flashes of brilliance rather than evidence of sustained artistic growth, and she was, even at that time, conflicted and uncertain about her life as an artist.
		Oppenheim's return to Basel in 1937 marked the beginning of an eighteen-year period of artistic crisis and redirection.

	IMAGO Meret Oppenheim
		For many younger women artists Meret Oppenheim is a rôle-model, because of the way she lived her life and realized her creative freedom.
		Meret Oppenheim considered herself a seismograph of the spiritual landscape - one who, being rooted in the past and future, kept the passage to the unconscious open.
		Because of this disturbed balance, she felt that a new direction in the evolution of mankind is needed, where the female principle is not devalued and humanity arrives at wholeness.

		Many of the women developed strong friendships: Leonor Fini, Leonora Carrington, and Meret Oppenheim in Paris, and later, in Mexico, Carrington and Remedios Varo.
		Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985), daughter of a German-Swiss Jungian psychologist, in many ways resembled Meretlein, the free-spirited character in a German novel for whom she was named.
		Although she continued drawing, painting, designing, and assembling clever and fanciful objects for the next fifty years, it is one piece, Fur-Lined Teacup (1936), that is synonymous with her name and, for many, with Surrealism.

	MoMA E-Cards: Meret Oppenheim - Object (Le Dejeuner en fourrure) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Oppenheim's fur-lined teacup is perhaps the single most notorious Surrealist object.
		Its subtle perversity was inspired by a conversation between Oppenheim, Pablo Picasso, and the photographer Dora Maar at a Paris café: admiring Oppenheim's fur-trimmed bracelets, Picasso remarked that one could cover just about anything with fur.
		A small concave object covered with fur, Object may also have a sexual connotation and politic: working in a male-dominated art world, perhaps Oppenheim was mocking the prevailing "masculinity" of sculpture, which conventionally adopts a hard substance and vertical orientation that can be seen as almost absurdly self-referential.
