Art to read by Louise Borgeois, is a book with representations of fleshy bubbles, skeletal spiders and the aggressive fragility of her work offered a new solution to the antagonism between the figurative and the abstract that had been an integral part of modernism.

Bourgeois herself provided a unique interpretive level to modern art through her uses of the trauma of childhood, family life, and sexuality.

This accessible study serves both as an ideal introduction to the central themes of the late artist's oeuvre and as a celebration of her hundredth birthday.

Over nine chapters, he examines his life, his exploration of the works of other artists, and the transformation of his emotions into works of art such as the now iconic pieces "Father's Destruction", "Filete", "Células" and "Maman" .

Louise Bourgeois, was one of the most emblematic artists in the history of art for the greater part of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.

The artist focused mainly on sculpture, creating biomorphic forms and the early use of unconventional materials that allude to a tension between essentially male and female forms.

This recurrent interrogation of the male/female dialectic aligns Bourgeois with the feminist movement.
