octopusgirl:Self-Portrait, Louise Bourgeois, 1990The child is mother of the woman. Born in Paris in 1911, Bourgeois not only had a long life – she died in 2010 – but one that straddled the modern and postmodern ages, linking our time with what may seem the remote world of early 20th century France. Blessed – or damned – with a long memory, she revisited the textures, atmospheres and traumas of her childhood in the haunting, claustrophobic Cell installations that she created in latter years. This image of her adult self containing the infant like a seed is a portrait not only of Bourgeois but her art. (x) -- source link
