Meret Oppenheim: Table With Bird Legs

Table With Bird Legs
1939, 64.6cm x 57cm x 42 cm
Bronze and Wood
Private Collection

        Oppenheim's table, like her tea cup touched on a nerve that was about the female. The legs of the table are slender bird's legs. Choosing the subject of the table, where women serve tea or dinner, the table suggests an object of offering. The table becomes a delicate, erotic object of irony, humor, and beauty.
