Louise Bourgeois wasn’t an actress but at the highest level, the Arts correspond. See how her point of view can also inform acting and other art forms.
Born in Paris on December 25, 1911 Louise Bourgeois studied mathematics at the Sorbonne before studying Art. She also went to École des Beaux-Arts, École du Louvre and many other academies as well as directly in numerous artists studios. After opening her own studio she married and moved to New York where she kept refining and developing her art.
Louise Bourgeois work deals with how the unconscious impacts the physical, the emotional, the psychological. Here is what she said about “Maman”, one of her most famous series of sculptures:
"The Spider is an ode to my mother. She was my best friend. Like a spider, my mother was a weaver. My family was in the business of tapestry restoration, and my mother was in charge of the workshop. Like spiders, my mother was very clever. Spiders are friendly presences that eat mosquitoes. We know that mosquitoes spread diseases and are therefore unwanted. So, spiders are helpful and protective, just like my mother."
