“For women, the implications are that they have to live their own female life as well as the female life that men project on them. Thus, they are woman times two. That’s too much.” /Meret Oppenheim, 1975

The person and the works of German-Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim (1913-1985) are forever associated with surrealism and 20th century art history. Her Fur Breakfast (1936) has often been used to represent the entire movement. Her oeuvre was far more multifaceted than that, however.
