'My name is Louise Josephine Bourgeois. I was born 24 December, 1911, in Paris. All my work in the past 50 years, all my subjects, have found their inspiration in my childhood.'Louise Bourgeois' creation of a "family photo album", examining the influence of her childhood on her work. Photographs from Bourgeois' childhood - herself, parents, siblings, cousins, homes, neighbourhood, animals - are interspersed with personal short texts, creating a visual memoir. Her failure to be a boy, her mother's independence and work as a tapestry repairer, her father's departure for war and his infidelity, the arrival of her orphaned cousins, the importance of animals all formed an influence which she was unable to detach from and which she constantly explored in her work. Loosely inserted is a manuscript postcard from Klaus Baumgartner, the book's designer. Beaux Books specialises in fine and rare books on art and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries.
