Rare Language

The exhibition is one of the stages of the Italian itinerary that pays tribute to one of the most influential contemporary artists, associating Studio Trisorio with prestigious museums such as the Borghese Gallery and Villa Medici in Rome, the Museo Novecento and the Museo degli Innocenti in Florence.

Studio Trisorio exhibits 35 drawings made by the artist between 1947 and 2008 and 4 bronze sculptures that bear witness to her poetics over a long chronological period.

Louise Bourgeois' art is steeped in autobiographical memories that touch on all aspects of her life, particularly her childhood spent in Paris, and her relationship with her mother and father have remained a profound source of inspiration because, as the artist herself has stated, they have never lost their mystery, their magic and their drama.

In Louise's works, the practice of drawing seems to accompany that of writing, a lifelong pastime that she pursued in her diaries, thus weaving the fabric of her most intimate memories. 

Abstract or spiral geometries, explicit references to female and male bodies, are the recurring elements of Bourgeois' artistic vocabulary, which is based on the need for immediacy, to express her state of mind, to narrate the complex relationship between the individual and his environment.
