CLEAVER & CREATIVE. The content of this image was inspired by a cafe conversation between Picasso and Oppenhein regarding her fur-lined tubing jewelry designs. As a result of Picasso's remark that “just about anything could be made of fur”, Oppenheim created this fur lined cup and saucer. As a result of Oppenhein’s expressionism viewers find themselves both attracted and repelled—which I find to be clever and creative—much like myself!
I've never seen this painting before. It's very clever! I'm not repulsed by it so much as intrigued by the vividness of the texture. I want to pick up the saucer and see how it feels!
