Louise Bourgeois (Broché)

Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris in 1911 and moved to New York City in 1938. She is considered to be one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. Her sculptures, paintings, drawings, monumental installations, and graphic work form a polymorphic ensemble that defies any singular aesthetic classification. Bourgeois applies this rich diversity to autobiographical expression. Her preferred themes-the masculine / feminine polarity, the body, and sexuality-make Bourgeois' work an essential reference for contemporary art.
