Louise Bourgeois

Internationally renowned artist, Louise Bourgeois was born in Paris in 1911. Although she lived in New York City from 1938 until her death at the age of 98, much of her inspiration came from her early childhood in France and from her family relationships. Using the body as her primary form, she explored the full spectrum of human emotion. In her works, from drawings to large-scale installations, she addressed themes such as memory, sexuality, love and abandonment, shaping her fears to exorcise them.
