Louise Bourgeois & Pablo Picasso Anatomies of Desire

Coupling the works of Louise Bourgeois and Pablo Picasso?at first glance, an unlikely pair?results in a thought-provoking discourse on the artists' formal and iconographic links. Inspired by archaic and primitive sources, both Bourgeois and Picasso continually explored and developed interpretations of fertility and mother deities; late in life, both artists focused on eroticism, sexuality, and intimacy.
