Metamorfosis V

Louise Bourgeois, Metamorfosis I, etching, abstract creature with elongated body and surreal form, suggesting transformation and introspection.

From the Metamorfosis suite // Louise Bourgeois' Metamorfosis I, created in 1999 as an etching, is a part of her Metamorfosis suite. This limited edition print captures Bourgeois' exploration of transformation and identity, a recurring theme in her work. The composition presents an elongated, abstract creature, with distorted proportions that evoke both animal and human forms. The creature appears to be in a state of repose or contemplation, its surreal shape challenging the viewer's perception of bodily form. Bourgeois' work often delves into psychological states, and here, the undulating lines and simplified features suggest vulnerability and introspection. Signed with her initials, this piece reflects her deep engagement with themes of metamorphosis and the fluidity of identity.
