Meret Oppenheim is the artist behind the fur cup and saucer in the class lecture. This beer mug with what looks like a fur tail can be put in the same category. However, Oppenheim in not an artist who can be categorized in a specific theme or group. she prefers to look at her self as an artist seeking her own path. many artists see her as a surrealist though she remains faithful to her own style. supposedly her art has allot of influence from her dreams which she has been recording since she was fourteen. I came across this cup on the web while researching her work and I thought that this had the same if not very similar motives as the fur cup and both are very successful in achieving textile looks. I can relate this back to the texture project that Im working on as the cup and saucer was one of the given examples.
