Sculptor Louise Bourgeois (American/French, born December 25, 1911?died May 31, 2010) is regarded as one of the most successful female artists during her lifetime. Born in Paris, France, Bourgeois studied mathematics at the Sorbonne before switching to Fine Art at ?cole du Louvre and ?cole des Beaux-Arts. In 1938, after marrying American art historian Robert Goldwater, she moved to New York to study painting at the Art Students League. Though influenced by European Abstract Expressionism, Bourgeois did not create abstract art; instead, she used symbolic objects to express psychological themes. http://www.artnet.com/artists/louise-bourgeois/biography
