Partial Recall 1979

"Partial Recall" (1979) is a minimalist sculpture by Louise Bourgeois, known for her exploration of memory and personal experiences. The artwork consists of stacked wooden forms, painted white, creating a layered composition that evokes both architectural and organic imagery. The repetition of curves and straight lines, along with the white paint, emphasize the formal qualities of the sculpture, while the use of wood hints at Bourgeois's interest in the body and the passage of time. The piece is a powerful reflection on the fragmented nature of memory and the ongoing process of recollection.
