Description

Louise Bourgeois, Freud's Daughter offers a unique perspective on the artist's life and work through her extensive psychoanalysis. From 1952 to 1985, this process had a profound impact on Bourgeois's creative practice. The book features excerpts from Bourgeois's diaries, rarely seen notebook pages, and archival family photographs, providing insight into her artistic process. A short text written by Bourgeois addresses Freud's relationship to art and artists, while an essay by Juliet Mitchell offers a cutting-edge feminist psychoanalyst's viewpoint on the artist's long and complex relationship with therapy. Philip Larratt-Smith, Bourgeois's literary archivist, provides an overview of the artist's life and work, exploring how the psychoanalytic process informed her practice. This volume opens exciting new avenues for understanding one of the most innovative and influential artists of our time.
