Meret Oppenheim: Book of Ideas : Early Drawings and Sketches for Fashions, Jewelry, and Designs

Rating:
Summary: A true idealist
Review: I didn't know much about Oppenheim before reading this book. But after exploring these pages I developed a fondness for her creative thinking. Oppenheim had a certain flare for novelty that many creative people seem to lack. You'll see exactly what I mean when you check out the various photos of some of her wild ideas (like a belt made out of arms - so it looks like someone has their arms around you). It was great to see so many artistic possibilities that I never would have considered. The book is very well written and gave enough information for me to feel as if I've learned something valuable about this artist. For any person who truly loves to explore creative possibilities I recommend this book.
