X-Ray of M.O.'s Skull 1964

"X-Ray of M.O.'s Skull" (1964) by Meret Oppenheim is a striking example of Surrealist photography. The image depicts an X-ray of Oppenheim's own skull, emphasizing the delicate and intricate structure of the human body. The dark, skeletal form stands out against the stark white background, creating a sense of vulnerability and introspection. Oppenheim's use of an X-ray as a photographic subject challenges traditional notions of beauty and mortality. The artwork provokes a contemplation of the inner workings of the body and the fragility of life.
