Ode to the Bievre 2007 — Fine Art

The title Ode to the Bievre 2007 points to a waterway and a gesture. Louise Bourgeois often worked in prints and drawings on paper, using forms that feel bodily or built.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The image reads as a soft horizontal mark with a darker line beside it. The white frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall.

The matte paper keeps the greys from shining under a lamp. It works above a hallway shelf where the light falls across the surface. From there you see the two bands as separate shapes.
