Description

Louise Bourgeois: Paintings by Clare Davies and Briony Fer is a groundbreaking publication that sheds new light on the artist's early works. Between 1938 and 1949, Bourgeois produced a series of paintings that laid the foundation for her later sculptural practice. These paintings are crucial to understanding Bourgeois's artistic development, as they reveal her unique pictorial language and her exploration of themes and motifs that would become central to her work. Informed by extensive archival research and the artist's diaries, this book provides a fresh perspective on Bourgeois's relationship with the New York art world of the 1940s. By examining these early works, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Bourgeois's artistic practice and its evolution over time.
