| book description |

An elegantly produced double portrait of the affinities and differences between two of the 20th century's greatest artists, Louise Bourgeois & Pablo Picasso Coupling the works of Louise Bourgeois and Pablo Picassoâ€”at first glance, an unlikely pairâ€”results in a thought-provoking discourse on the artistsâ€™ formal and iconographic links. Inspired by archaic and primitive sources, both Bourgeois and Picasso continually explored and developed interpretations of fertility and mother deities; late in life, both artists focused on eroticism, sexuality, and intimacy. This beautifully designed book, with its cloth boards and title stamping, builds upon the complex conversation about gender the exhibition sparks, with texts by exhibition curator Marie-Laure Bernadac (former curator at the Louvre, Picasso Museum, and Centre Pompidou), Ã‰milie Bouvard (art historian and curator), Ulf KÃ¼ster (curator at the Fondation Beyeler), GÃ©rard Wajcman (psychoanalyst and writer) and Diana Widmaier Picasso (art historian).
