Louise Bourgeois
              Louise Bourgeois was a French-American Sculptor. She was born on December 25, 1911 in Paris, France. Her artwork is associated with surrealism, contemporary art and feminist art. Her art were influenced by traumatic experience she faced from her childhood. She would incorporate images from her past events into her artwork like spiders, cages to symbolize the female’s beauty and pain they face. Her works mostly focus on three dimensional clear sexual matters sculptors, which at that time was uncommon to female artists. Through the female body art and development of installation art, Louise Bourgeois was able to influence other young artist.
