LOUIA BOURGEOIS,
b.12/25,1911,Paris
d.5/31,2010,New York City
She came to visit us in Hirshhorn and Corcoran of Washington,D.C. ,and Baltimore,Then left behind her cell(=cage), and one of her spiders in NGA Sculpture Garden.A feminist with modern mind and memory matters,linked together.She thought of marriage and motherhood,and psychosexual subjects ,such as depression,mood and a sense of loss,.Her spiders are coming from a mother who was a weaver too.It could be a structure ultimately establishing in the "Cell" series,also known as "Cage" ,like the image above.
Louis Bourgeois,the Parisienne,came to New York in 1938 after her marriage to an American,to persue her carrier in sculpture and art for more than seventy yearsThese pieces,at time are rough."They deny,or rather ignore,the romance of materials and refuse the histrionics of technique." They are comfortably simple,still complicated in its interiority to the degree of abstraction and abstract art.
Is this a confessional art,as we encounter very often in poetry,especially in women with traumatized childhood ,and life in general,and or sexual experiences?A sylvia plath of art? Her sculptures bring about tense moments in calm ambience,in their forms and relationship to each others.They are awesome and still relaxed.They are holding back their tears and meditate.
Louis bourgeois who died yesterday at age 98 ,once said:
"I don't need to be boosted by history.
I have made history in spite of myself.
I am just another stone in the wall."
