The artwork, titled “Paper Jacket” by Meret Oppenheim, was created in 1976. This piece belongs to the Surrealism movement and is classified under the figurative genre. In the artwork, an individual is depicted wearing a jacket made entirely of what appears to be shredded paper. The jacket, which covers the upper body, gives off a texture filled with intricate, fibrous details, creating an unusual and evocative visual. The individual also wears glasses, adding to the overall surreal and thought-provoking quality that is characteristic of Oppenheim’s work within the Surrealist movement. The monochromatic tones of the artwork further enhance its enigmatic and contemplative nature.
