La Sage Femme

Louise Bourgeois' work is profound and coherent, a cross between surrealism and expressionism, psychoanalysis and feminism, a fusion between object and concept. By means of spiral writing, symbolic in her prints, the artist rewrites her past through female identity and body image, a corporal synthesis of her every emotion and fear. She destroys and reconstructs her memories, like strange mutations or reflections in a distorted mirror.
