Parkett Vol. 4

Quote from Parkett
“Meret Oppenheim’s abstruse, multi-leveled work sometimes stubbornly eludes facile interpretation; her virtuoso performance on many instruments at once has long left viewers at something of a loss. On a picture done early in 1933 she wrote the laconic statement: ‘Well, then we’ll live a little later.’ Only gradually, after the critic’s stodgy demand for clear development and stylistic consistency had paled, yielding to a growing fascination for the unfettered approach of recent art, Meret Oppenheim has finally come into her own.”
Jacqueline Burckhardt, Parkett No. 4, 1985
