“But are Caland’s works actually erotic? Undoubtedly. And yet they demystify eroticism by embracing an astonishingly diverse array of bodies – without pretentiousness, without artifice. These are imperfect bodies caught in perfect bliss.”
Negar Azimi, ‘Going to Pieces’, in Aram Moshayedi, Ed., Huguette Caland: Everything Takes the Shape of a Person, 1970-78, Milan, Rome, Paris and New York, 2017, p 18
