Hanging Janus with Jacket 1968

Louise Bourgeois' 1968 sculpture, "Hanging Janus with Jacket", features a two-headed figure rendered in bronze and suspended from the ceiling. The work is reminiscent of the Roman god Janus, known for having two faces looking in opposite directions, representing the duality of time, past and future. Bourgeois' work often delves into themes of identity, memory, and the human condition, making this sculpture a powerful exploration of the complexities of the self.
