Louise Bourgois (1911 - 2010)

There is a childlike naivety about Bourgois' work, something that I would expect to see scribbled on a desk in primary school. There also seems to be a fragility and awkwardness to her work. There is a large amount of exaggeration like the large protruding stomaches and breasts. There seems to be a common element of pregnancy or motherhood in her work. Her drawings are very simplistic. There is  also a tender aspect to them which gives them a childish aura.
