Spring 1949

"Spring" (1949) is a white plaster sculpture by Louise Bourgeois. It depicts an abstract, elongated figure composed of stacked, organic forms reminiscent of the human body. This work is characteristic of Bourgeois's exploration of themes of the body, sexuality, and the subconscious, themes she frequently explored throughout her career. The sculpture's stark simplicity and organic shapes create a sense of both vulnerability and strength, reflecting the artist's own complex and often contradictory emotions.
