Modeling Pendantif-Pendant earrings designed by surrealist artist Man Ray.

In 1907 and 1910, Maximilian Lenz exhibited at the Secession Vienna together with his long-time student Ida Kupelwieser. In addition to landscapes and flower pictures, the picture “Marionetten” stood out with its complex, quite erotic symbolism. A theme that he will repeat several times, as he did in 1914. It is assumed that the lying beauty is Ida Kupelwieser, who was for a long time unattainable for a love affair or a close liaison for the painter due to her social position as a wealthy entrepreneur’s daughter. The picture can therefore be interpreted as a dream of the painter, who depicts himself on the lower right as a fool, the only figure not hanging by a thread, who watches longingly as the beauty extends her hand to the prince doll. Only years later, in 1926, he would marry Ida just a few months before her death and would finally become the “prince”. (source)
