A rare glimpse inside the private world of Louise Bourgeois. Jaussaud’s photographs of Louise Bourgeois in her house and studio are a moving testimony showing how completely implicated in her work she was, to the point that her private life and her work were inextricably interwoven.

Louise Bourgeois is par excellence the woman-knife, the woman sculptor, the one who cuts, slices, shears, but also the one who embodies the feminine-masculine ambivalence: protection and threat, fragility and strength, tenderness and violence. Born in 1911 in Paris, and living in New York from 1938 until she died in 2010, she became, after a late recognition, one of the most emblematic artists of the 20th century.
