Louise Bourgeois

documentary

This was a fascinating piece on an amazingly talented, visionary sculptor. She has an appealing manner,  helped some by a charming French accent, but is obviously tormented by demons from her childhood. 

It's been said that the greatest art has its roots in emotional turmoil, that the swirl of passion is the crucible out of which insight emerges. Who knows? It seems to be the case here.

I hope this film brings her work to a larger audience.
