Be Calme (October 1st - 31st) 2004

"Be Calme (October 1st - 31st)" (2004) by Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) showcases the artist's signature exploration of personal memory and the subconscious. The work utilizes a simple composition of red and blue lines and circles, suggesting both order and chaos. Bourgeois's use of organic, circular forms evokes a sense of cyclical time, while the bold red lines contrast with the soft, rounded shapes, hinting at the complex interplay of emotions and experiences that define human existence. This artwork is a poignant example of Bourgeois's abstract expressionism, allowing viewers to connect with their own personal narratives through the evocative power of form and color.
