Louise Bourgeois(1911-2010)

IMDbProStarmeterSee rank
The Masters of Modern Sculpture series concludes with a look at post- World War II America, where sculpture became an innovative art form. The New World observes the artists utilizing wood, metals, and discarded objects, bringing forth lively and shocking work. Americas remote spaces and abundant materials enabled them to add to the concepts of European modernism in daringly unique ways.
