The artist Meret Oppenheim (1913 - 1985) is regarded as the female face of surrealism. With her humor and effervescent creativity, which transcended the barriers of conventional perception, she inspired artists such as Alberto Giacometti, Hans Arp, Max Ernst and Man Ray at a young age. Meret Oppenheim lived in Steinen from 1914 to 1932 and attended the Oberrealschule in Schopfheim for a time.
