Louise bourgeois

Bol

An enlightening introduction to the life and work of Louise Bourgeois, whose abstract sculptures and unconventional art offer profound insight into both her personal life and the larger social issues of her age, solidifying her as one of the most important feminist artists of the twentieth century. Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) is best known for her monumental sculptures: towering, dark and warped structures that are often isolated, evoking a myriad of emotions from hope and fear to anguish and anxiety. But she also worked prolifically with fabric, weaving together her personal life with her art to tell powerful stories of her traumatic memories and experiences. This book is an enlightening introduction to the life and work of Bourgeois. Bringing together her extensive and beguiling body of work, from her early paintings and ink drawings to her large-scale sculptural installations incorporating textiles and tapestries, it reveals the profound personal and social insight of an extraordinary artist who transformed violence and vulnerability into art, solidifying her as one of the most important feminist artists of the twentieth century.
