"Until recently, the culo as an object of erotic worship had taken a backseat (pun intended) to other parts of the anatomy in mainstream European and American culture. The breast has always been an object of fetish, of course. In the nineteenth century, bizarrely, the ankle and the foot both had their day. But the culo, other than making appearances in a few Boucher paintings of the king's mistress's dimpled derierre, is largely absent from the Western painterly cannon." (Susan Fales-Hill). Illustrated throughout with nude photography and unusual collages of nude photography.
