Louise Bourgeois Patriarchy

Artwork has the capacity to expose the inner soul of its maker. Art that is considered good is that which is able to tap into the subconscious of both the artist and the viewer; both unaware as their subconscious makes connections to the social and political constructs inflicted by patriarchy. Along with these associations, though unsavory, understood universally to be attacking the nature of humanity, sexual identity and gender roles. Conceivably, referencing this psychological state, contributed to making Louise Bourgeois artwork so impactful.
