Louise Bourgrois

On Monday we went to the Louise Bourgeois exhibition at Modern One (Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art). It was very interesting and enjoyable. I enjoyed reading about and looking at some of her art work and how much thought goes into her art work and how much meaning there is to her art. I liked lots of her artwork but most of all I liked her sculptures like "give or take" which was created in 2002. My favourite piece by bourgeois that I seen at the gallery on Monday was Cell XIV (Portrait) which was made in 2000 and is made from  Steel, glass, wood, metal and red fabric.









I really like this piece because i think it looks very emotional like the three heads are screaming and trying to break away from each other, or trying to escape. It also looks very painful.
