"Meat Joy, 1964, Fuses, 1964-1966, Up to and Including Her Limits, 1973-1976, and Interior Scroll, 1975, are now considered canonical projects, required entries into any meaningful account of contemporary art, belying their once notoriety as feminist challenges of the very concept of the art historical canon." - Kenneth White in Carolee Schneemann: Unforgivable 

The body of the artist in relation to the social body as in Meat Joy are examples of Schneemann’s radical approach to drawing, the body and composition.
