Bourgeois is a famous sculptor, she is still alive && is 97 years of age. She was born in Paris and was raised by both her parents and came from a big family. She worked at her families business of restoring antique tapestries as a child. Her mom tough her how to draw when she was young.
After reading the book and looking at her art work online, i found her art is one of a kind, very simple but with a lot of meaning. One of her most famous sculptures is a larger sculpture of a spider that is located outside of a museum in London. Her most important work is dominated by images of crippling fear, ghost, torture and darkness. Also, many of her sculptures include sexuality.
Josiah McElheny
McElheny is also a sculptor that lives in Brooklyn New York, he was born in 1966. McElheny is known for his glass sculptures that are displayed in galleries and museus. He draws form the decorative and functional traditions of glass craft. He works is very detailed and full of passion and love. I researched images of his work and it looks like there is so much life to the sculptures. Although it just is something simple as glass it is yet complex and contemporary at the same time. Many of his pieces do not have any color but just the sculpture it self gives it enough color and life. I really like this artist especially his work it is amazing how someone has the talent to make sculptures out of simple glass and add so much passion and love to it that it almost becomes alive.
