After looking at some of the artwork created by Louise Bourgeois it reminded me of movies from the 1950's and 60's. Her piece Spider is like something that would come out of war of the worlds. Many of her sculptures seem to deal with people and problems in their lives and represent some of her own life problems. Although some of her pieces are serious they are done so in playful way that ensures that the viewer does not feel to saddened. Many of her pieces are abstract and ask the viewer to only think and find out what the piece means to them. An example of this i the 3 30 foot tall tower she made that she intended to be the setting and topic for many conversations. It seems as if most of her work does not ask the viewer to join in what the piece means to her but instead asks the viewer what does the piece mean to them. Her most famous piece is "Spider" which is a 35 foot tall spider currently residing at the Lourve.
