Less known are the paintings she produced between her arrival in New York in 1938 and her turn to three-dimensional media in 1949. Crucial to her artistic practice, these early works--the focus of this groundbreaking publication--show how Bourgeois evolved her deeply personal artistic lexicon, and how the themes and motifs she explored in her paintings coalesced into symbols of her sculptural practice. Informed by new archival research and the artist's extensive diaries, \u003ci\u003eLouise Bourgeois: Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e explores Bourgeois's relationship to the New York art world of the 1940s and her development of a unique pictorial language, adding a key element to our understanding of this crucial artist's career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (April 11-August 7, 2022) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNew Orleans Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (September 8, 2022-January 8, 2023)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClare Davies\u003c\/b\u003e is associate curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. \u003cb\u003eBriony Fer\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of the history of art at University College London.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.92 x 10.3 x 9.39 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 03, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766930571552,"sku":"9781588397485","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/99d40b78cd9e9dfa488e4fcb85b0ebbe.webp?v=1780301155","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/louise-bourgeois-paintings-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
