A clever, quirky picture-book biography of one of the most important
figures of modern and contemporary art
Louise Bourgeois was a world-famous artist who told stories of her life
through her art until she was 98 years old. She drew, wove, and sculpted
pieces inspired by her experiences, often using everyday objects that
reminded her of her family and her past.
Her famous giant spiders fascinate - and sometimes terrify - art-lovers
to this day, but the truth behind the inspiration for these towering
sculptors is not as scary as it may seem. This is an inspiring story
about a young girl who became the first female sculptor to have a solo
exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York - a unique
picture-book celebration for children of one of the most important
modern and contemporary woman artists of our time.
