1 The Sublimation of Humor in the Work of Meret Oppenheim: a defense mechanism Karen Clardy Gabriela Sotomayor, Director, School of Art History Academy of Art University Midpoint Review Proposed Thesis Advisor: Professor Anna Glaze November 3, 2017

2 Meret Oppenheim s Object (1936) and My Nurse (1936) are most often analyzed through the lens of feminism, which omits the psychoanalytic aspects of humor. Meret Oppenheim, Object, Paris, 1936, Modern Museum of Art, New York a-c. (Photo: Copyright 1996 The Modern Museum of Art, New York)

3 This research studies the theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung as applied to Oppenheim s life and work from the perspective of feminism to form an analysis of how humor was used as a defense mechanism.

4 The use of humor in Meret Oppenheim s work evidences the contradictions and challenges she faced as an artist and as muse. Man Ray, Erotique Voilée, 1933, photograph, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, (Photo: Man Ray Trust)
