Bourgeois (Louise)


Born in France in 1911 and living in New York since 1938, Louise Bourgeois is a major artist of the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. Crossing surrealism, abstract expressionism, minimalism, oscillating between abstract geometry and organic reality, he work escapes artistic classifications. Based on memory, emotion, reactivation of childhood memories, she obeys a subjective logic, using every medium and shape. Louise Bourgeois’ personal and autobiographic language meets the most contemporary practices and has an influence on many artists.

Rousse (Georges)


When he was 9 years old, Georges Rousse received the legendary Kodak Brownie camera as a Christmas gift. Since then, the camera has never left his side. While attending medical school in Nice, he decided to study professional photography and printing techniques, then opened his own studio dedicated to architectural photography. Soon, his passion for the medium led to devote himself entirely to photography, following in the footsteps of such great American masters as Steichen, Stieglitz and Ansel Adams.

After he discovered Land Art and Malevich's Black Square against a white field, Georges Rousse altered his relationship to photography, inventing a unique approach that shifted the relationship of painting to space. He began making installations in the types of abandoned or derelict buildings that have long held an attraction for him--creating ephemeral, one-of-a-kind artworks by transforming these sites into pictorial spaces that are visible only in his photographs.

From the early 1980s on, Georges Rousse has chosen to show his photographs on a large scale, so that his viewers participate in the work and experience the sense of space in a compelling way.

Collapsing the usual restrictions between artistic mediums, his unique body of work quickly made its mark on the contemporary art world. Since his first exhibition in Paris, at the Galerie de France in 1981, Georges Rousse has continued creating his installations and showing his photographs around the world, in Europe, in Asia (Japan, Korea, China, Nepal.), in the United States, in Quebec and in Latin America.

He has participated in numerous biennials (Paris, Venice, Sydney) and received many prestigious awards:

1983 Villa Médicis "hors les murs" à New York
1985-1987 Villa Médicis, Rome
1988 International Center of Photography Award, New York
1989 Salon de Montrouge Drawing Prize
1992 Romain Roland Fellowship, Calcutta
1993 National Grand Prix of Photography
2008 Succeeded Sol LeWitt as an associate member of the Belgian Royal Academy

He is represented by several European galleries and his works are included in many major collections the world over.

Georges Rousse was born in 1947 in Paris, where he currently lives and works.
