Book excerpt: Prácticamente desconocida por el gran público hasta la gran retrospectiva celebrada en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York en 1982, cuando la artista contaba 71 años, la escultura de Louise Bourgeois (París, 1911), de marcado carácter autobiográfico y personal, no es fácilmente catalogable en ningún movimiento ni tendencia establecidos. Según sostiene la propia escultora, toda su producción gira en torno a una suerte de mito fundador: el adulterio de su padre, que introdujo a su amante, una joven institutriz inglesa llamada Sadie, en la casa familiar. De hecho, desde sus primeros dibujos y pinturas de "Femmes-maison" (Mujeres-casa), realizados en los años cuarenta, hasta sus "Cells", instalaciones a modo de celdas o pequeñas habitaciones, de los años noventa, pasando por sus esculturas de yeso y látex de los sesenta o imágenes del cuerpo desmembrado de la década de los ochenta, toda su producción se halla marcada, de una forma u otra, por ese recuerdo de la "traición" paterna. Ello no implica, sin embargo, que la escultura de Bourgeois tenga un significado exclusivamente íntimo o biográfico. Su obra nos desvela las relaciones de poder, la situación de opresión sexual y la experiencia de dolor que anidan en el interior de la familia patriarcal, demostrando en último término que, como subraya el célebre eslogan feminista, "lo personal es político".

Book excerpt: « Qu’est-ce que c’est ? » « Que voyons-nous ? » Ou, plus précisément : « Que s’est-il passé ? ». La vision est soudain confrontée à un trauma : nous sommes saisis par l’urgence et l’intensité d’une présence qui tout à la fois captive la vue et incite à détourner le regard. Three Horizontals a la force d’une énigme. À qui sont ces corps mutilés ? D’où proviennent-ils ? Ce sont des corps génériques en mal d’appartenance. Corps de Louise Bourgeois. Corps de sculpture. Corps de la féminité. Corps aussi d’une nécessité aveugle. Corps enfin de nos sociétés contemporaines. Fabien Danesi replace Three Horizontals dans l’ensemble du corpus de Louise Bourgeois ainsi que dans les explorations esthétiques et théoriques de cette fin du XXe siècle. Evelyne Grossman retrouve dans les motifs biographiques de l’oeuvre les affres de l’identité confrontée à l’instabilité des différences sexuelles. Frédéric Vengeon voit dans cette oeuvre la puissance d’un sphinx contemporain qui interroge la condition humaine. Sculpteur et plasticienne américaine d’origine française, Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) a reçu le Lion d’or de la Biennale de Venise en 1999. Une rétrospective lui a été consacrée à Paris, au Centre Pompidou, en 2008.

Book excerpt: Louise Bourgeois' work defies classification, oscillating continually between abstract geometry and organic reality. She uses a range of materials from wood and plaster to marble and latex to explore universal themes-the body, childhood, maternity, and sexuality-from a deeply personal perspective, imbuing them with extraordinary emotional intensity. This comprehensive and richly illustrated monograph is chronological in approach, and brings together her works from early sketches and paintings to later sculptures and installations with which she has astonished the art world. Author Marie-Laure Bernadac skillfully weaves her insightful text with Bourgeois' own words from articles, films, and interviews to provide a unique and highly accessible study of this fascinating and complex artist.

Book excerpt: Louise Bourgeois (1911–2010) was born on December 25, 1911. This book, which is devoted to the central themes of the late artist's oeuvre, is being published on the occasion of her one-hundredth birthday. It examines her life, her exploration of the works of other artists, and the transformation of her emotions into works of art. Over the course of nine chapters, characteristic works are presented in the context of art history by comparing and contrasting them with works from the Beyeler Collection. The book brings home the fact that Bourgeois not only offset the important antagonism between the figurative and the abstract in modernism, she also helped to provide a unique interpretive level to modern art beyond that of the purely visible. This publication is an introduction to the life and work of a woman who was one of the most important artists of her time.
