Synopsis
Sculptor Louise Bourgeois has been writing and drawing since the age of 12. The title of this book comes from the name of a sculpture Bourgeois created following the death of her husband in 1973. The book contains both formal texts and what the artist calls "pen-thoughts" - drawing-texts often connected to her drawings and sculptures, with stories or poems inscribed alongside the images. Bourgeois's writing is informed by her intellectual background, knowledge of art history and sense of literary form. The book collects both her writings and her spoken remarks on art, underlining the links between her work and her biography and offering insight into her creative process.
