In 1930, Bourgeois entered the Sorbonne to study mathematics and geometry, subjects that she valued for their stability, saying "I got peace of mind, only through the study of rules nobody could change." The lower part of the tapestries were always damaged which was usually a result of the characters' feet and animals' paws. A few years after her birth, her family moved out of Paris and set up a workshop for tapestry restoration below their apartment in Choisy-le-Roi, for which Bourgeois filled in the designs where they had become worn. Her parents owned a gallery that dealt primarily in antique tapestries. She was the middle child of three born to parents Joséphine Fauriaux and Louis Bourgeois. Life Sculpture by Bourgeois in the Domestic Incidents group exhibit at London's Tate Modern Turbine Hall, 2006 Early life īourgeois was born on 25 December 1911 in Paris, France. Although Bourgeois exhibited with the Abstract Expressionists and her work has much in common with Surrealism and Feminist art, she was not formally affiliated with a particular artistic movement. These themes connect to events from her childhood which she considered to be a therapeutic process. She explored a variety of themes over the course of her long career including domesticity and the family, sexuality and the body, as well as death and the unconscious.
Although she is best known for her large-scale sculpture and installation art, Bourgeois was also a prolific painter and printmaker. Louise Joséphine Bourgeois ( French: i 25 December 1911 – ) was a French-American artist.
