It began with a joke over lunch.
In 1936, Meret Oppenheim
was at a Paris café with...
Pablo Picasso, who noticed
the fur-lined, polished metal
bracelet she was wearing
and joked that anything
could be covered
with fur.
“Even this cup and saucer,”
Oppenheim replied and,
carrying the merriment
further, called out,
“Waiter, a little more fur!”
But
what
the hell
does that
have to
do with
a greasy
nude with
one hand
on the
wheel?
You,
the reader,
might ask.
Me, the writer, will answer:
Meret Oppenheim was not only a true Surrealist sculptor/artist
who created the fur-lined teacup within days after
asking the waiter for more fur...
She was also a muse and a model.
The "greasy nude" is Ms. Oppenheim and the 1933 photograph
was taken by Man Ray for his experimental photography
in Erotique Voilee.
