Ode to the Bievre 2007

"Ode to the Bievre" is a textile artwork created by Louise Bourgeois in 2007. It depicts a mountain range rendered in shades of blue and white, with a raw linen border, suggesting a flag or banner. The piece is reminiscent of Bourgeois's later works, known for their exploration of personal and universal themes, often expressed through abstract forms and simplified, yet powerful imagery. The artwork's evocative nature invites viewers to contemplate themes of landscape, memory, and the passage of time, characteristic of Bourgeois's oeuvre.
