The Destruction of the Father 1974 — Fine Art

Thick red shapes against a pale ground fill The Destruction of the Father 1974.

The reds press forward with jagged edges, while the pale area holds them back. This kind of psychological sculpture on paper stays close to Louise Bourgeois, whose practice often used bodily forms and tension.

The metal hanger on the back lets you fit the fine art print straight onto a nail, so the reds line up without a frame standing in front. It looks calm near a kitchen table, where the pale ground settles the red shapes and the hanger keeps the surface flat against the wall.
