Drypoint and engraving, with selective wiping, and red gouache and black ink additions - Smooth, wove paper - Dimensions: plate: 9 15/16 x 11 15/16 (25.3 x 30.4 cm); sheet: 17 1/2 x 19 (44.5 x 48.3 cm) -Signed Louise Bourgeois 2003 lower right margin - // Untitled (Spider and Snake) by Louise Bourgeois is a limited edition drypoint and engraving print from 2003, accentuated with red gouache and black ink additions. This striking piece captures Bourgeois’ fascination with spiders, a recurring motif in her work that often symbolizes protection, creativity, and the maternal figure. The spider, rendered with delicate, elongated legs and a segmented body, looms over the composition with a sense of quiet menace. A red, spiraling snake slithers at its side, adding a contrasting element of movement and color. The minimalistic use of color and fine line work heightens the tension in this surreal, symbolic scene, inviting interpretations of vulnerability and strength.

What is abstract expressionism?

Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
