Louise Bourgeois born in 1911, she studied art in several schools in Paris. She first started off engraving and painting, in the 1940's she turned her attention to creating sculpture. She was influenced by European surreal artists, using many organic and abstract shapes carved from wood in her work, she later moved to using rubber bronze and stone in her work. She uses the role of her relationship with her parents and the role sexuality played in her early family life. She purposefully makes some of her work to make the viewer feel uncomfortable, the female and male body are continually references and remade, they are charged with sexuality and innocence and interplay between the two.
