Description
Remis Auditorium
Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, The Mistress and The Tangerine by Amei Wallach and Marion Cajoli (2008, 99 min.). This complex, fascinating, and unpredictable documentary about sculpture artist Louise Bourgeois shows how the emotions of the past reveal themselves in her evocative and often terrifying works. Strongly influenced by Surrealists like Brancusi and Picasso, the aggressive nature and elemental design is still used in her sculptures, installations, and drawings today. Bourgeois’ use of unorthodox materials and techniques fused with a postwar sensibility helped her create artwork that represented the emerging radical ideas of the body, gender and sexuality. “The uncommonly elegant and evocative portrait reveals much about this haunting and haunted master.” (The New York Times).
