Man Ray :: Meret Oppenheim’s arm in Marcoussis’s studio, 1933. From a suite of photographs entitled Érotique-voilée (Veiled Eroticism), Man Ray’s photograph shows his then assistant, fellow-Surrealist Meret Oppenheim, in the print studio of Louis Marcoussis. Oppenheim’s left forearm is stretched out and smeared with the black ink of an etching press, behind a large copper printing-press wheel.
