"Kiki Smith's art of the human body is strikingly contemporary, yet the human figure has appeared in the art of virtually every culture in history. This fascination with the human form stems not from prurience but from an interest in understanding what it truly means to be a human being. Smith's work is direct and frank. This frankness allows us to recognize that which is often hidden in our attitudes towards ourselves: the fact that we all are made up of flesh and blood and that this physical structure accounts for a large part of who we are as individuals and as a society."
