Meret Oppenheim - James Bidgood




After reading Nia's post about James Bidgood and looking at his photographs, something reminded me alot of the photo's of Meret Oppenheim in the 1930's. She was associated with the Dada movement and was photographed by several artists within that circle. At one point, I had several pictures of her saved to my computer, and many looked ver similar to the James Bidgood photographs, but I no longer have that computer. I can't find the pictures I want of Oppenheim, but I did stumble upon this one on the internet. Something about the mood, the shadows, and the hints to mythology reminds me of Meret..sans technocolor sexy. I think it's pretty cool.
