"The exhibition features variations on the perennial topic of the female body.
The human body and especially the female form has fascinated artists since time immemorial. Conventions have changed and tastes may differ but the allurement of the human physique endures.
The exhibition reflects women and womanhood.
Here we refer neither to femininity in the sense of dressing up in the latest fashions, nor femininity of a romantic, delicate character, but rather we invoke the firm, fertile femininity reminiscent of mother earth, similar to the creative material for sculpture.
They are solid with curved limbs like clay jars for storing staple commodities and their production eventually developed into the art of pottery."

Gabriel Maanit
(Curator of Israel Museum of Oriental Art)
