Louise bourgeois
- 3. Moved to New York, NY October 12th, 1938
- 4. Died May 31, 2010 in New York, USA Deeply symbolic her works deals with issues of desire, sexuality, identity, and isolation.
- 6. Though her beginnings were as an engraver and painter, by the 1940s she had turned her attention to sculptural work
- 7. Early sculpture was composed of groupings of abstract and organic shapes, often carved from wood. By the 1960s she began to execute her work in rubber, bronze, and stone, and the pieces themselves became larger, more referential to what has become the dominant theme of her work—her childhood.
- 8. Deeply symbolic, her work uses her relationship with her parents and the role sexuality played in her early family life as a vocabulary in which to understand and remake that history.
- 9. The anthropomorphic shapes her pieces take—the female and male bodies are continually referenced and remade—are charged with sexuality and innocence and the interplay between the two. Bourgeois’s work is in the collections of most major museums around the world.
