Meret Oppenheim

Meret Oppenheim
"Sitting Figure with Folded Hands"
1933

"a human figure is portrayed in its most basic composition; the head, an inexpressive oval white shape, which does not offer the physiognomist any help i judging Oppenheim's character from her facial features since most of her essential sense organs - her eyes, ears, nose and mouth are lacking."
