Femme Maison 1981 — Fine Art

Femme Maison 1981 by Louise Bourgeois shows a female figure drawn with a house built into the lower body. The face sits above a roof line, and the sides of the body read like walls. The drawing uses clear outlines and a plain field. The work keeps the figure and the building in one shape.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A black frame gives the edge a firm line against the drawing. The frame keeps the house outline from blending into the wall around it.

It works on a kitchen wall near a sink window. You notice the roof line first, then the face above it. The outline stays clear at arm length. The house shape reads plainly when you stand at the counter.
