" Artistic creation is first of all an act of desire. The inspired Utamaro knew it better than anyone, when he drew the fabulous self portrait in which we see the artist's head springing out from the sex of a courtesan the moment she raises her skirt."
Andre Masson, Mythologie Sexualle, Paris: no date,
quoted by Alain Kirili, David Smith: The Cult of the Solar Nude, SCULPTURE MAGAZINE, Vol. 13- No.3,
International Sculpture Center: New York, May-June 1994
To a sculptor the tactile sense is a vital response to the world, and one facet of the sensuality of touch is an exploration of the details of the physical.
"... the body is like a sentence that
invites us to rearrange it, so that
its real meaning becomes clear
through a series of endless
anagrams."
Cf. Bellmer, Hans, Notes au Sujet de la
Jointure à Boule, Paris, 1937, quoted in
Hans Bellmer, Paris, CNAC Archives,
1971, p.94
