Cloth Lullaby: The Woven Life of Louise Bourgeois – Amy Novesky and Isabelle Arsenault

A beautifully nuanced and poetic story, this book stunningly captures the life of Louise Bourgeois and tells the story of a relationship between a mother and daughter, the birth of an artist, and how memory is stitched into us all.

Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010) was a world-renowned modern artist noted for her sculptures made of wood, steel, stone, and cast rubber. Louise spent her childhood in France as an apprentice to her mother before she became a tapestry artist herself. She worked with fabric throughout her career, and this biographical picture book shows how Bourgeois’s childhood experiences weaving with her loving, nurturing mother provided the inspiration for her most famous works.
