Book details
Cloth Lullaby: the woven life of Louise Bourgeois
Description
A beautifully illustrated biography of Louise Bourgeois, the French-American artist known for her iconic spider sculptures, told through the eyes of a young girl who discovers her life and art. The story follows the girl as she explores Bourgeois's childhood, her early years as a young artist, and her later success, all the while weaving in themes of family, identity, and the power of art to heal and inspire. The book includes a foreword by the artist's son, Jean-Loup Chalumeau, and an author's note with additional information about Bourgeois's life and work. The illustrations are a mix of watercolor, ink, and collage, inspired by Bourgeois's own artistic style.
