Louise Bourgeois

This sculpture, known as Arch of Hysteria, was made by Louise Bourgeois. It was created in 1993 and was placed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). This sculpture was made out of Bronze and polished patina. I chose this sculpture because the color of it (gold), makes it stand out compared to her other sculptures. I also enjoy that this sculpture had a shadow that adds to this work of art. The shadow gives the viewer a different view of the sculpture. Apparently, this sculpture was about how psychoanalysis around the time of Freud, believed that hysteria women would have body contortions similar to this human figure in this sculpture. This sculpture is impressive because Bourgeois was able to create a realistic human body out of bronze.
