Birth 1994

"Birth" is a 1994 work by Louise Bourgeois, known for her introspective and often autobiographical art. The drawing depicts a figure giving birth, a recurring theme in Bourgeois' work. It is a powerful and emotional depiction of the process of creation and the complex relationship between mother and child, common themes within the artist's work. The simplified lines and gestural marks create a sense of immediacy and vulnerability, making the experience both universal and deeply personal.
