A clever, quirky biography of one of the most important figures in modern and contemporary art
Louise Bourgeois was a world-renowned artist who told stories of her life through her art until the age of 98. She designed, wove, and sculpted pieces inspired by her experiences, often using everyday objects that reminded her of her family and her past.
Her famous giant spiders captivate – and sometimes terrify – art lovers to this day, but the truth behind the inspiration for these towering sculptures is not as frightening as it may seem. This is an inspiring story about a young girl who became the first female sculptor to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York – a unique celebration in illustrated book form for children about one of the most significant modern and contemporary women artists of our time.
