Louise Bourgeois, Paris View. (1994)
This painting that Bourgeois
created just prior to her illustration on the Venice
Biennale in 1993. Named after Paris review, which was an arts magazine established in
1953, the artist has converted and reproduced the original drawing on a
bigger scale in raise-ground. compelling in her every day drawing practice, many
of Bourgeois’ abstract works use the theme of circles, strains and points.
This painting is specific in that the artist has added white
heavy handed to emphasize the power and concentric motion of the
shapes she used.At some point of the lead-up to the
biennale, Bourgeois become substantiallyinterviewed, photographed
and filmed via the media. She got overwhelmed, the artist described
her psychological state at the time: “this is the
pomegranate … it's far the movement of twisting and
squeezing out of the juice of the pomegranate. All those interviewers
squeezed me to exhaustion”. The drift of organic lines and
upturned teardrops in Paris review imply to this extracting process.
Bourgeois became additionally interested by the ‘Rorschach effect’,
the inkblot test devised to analyze personality types and
divergent emotional responses in humans.

Max Ernst. The forest. (1931)
Amongst his many memories of early
life, Max Ernst frequently mentioned his fear and
fascination with a forest that surrounded his home. Therefore, Forests
and suns are significant to Ernst’s personal symbolism This dark and
mysterious forest scene marks one of the most creative time
periods of Ernst's career. Which was the series of Romanticism.Inspired
by the Surrealist chief André Breton's proclamation of
"pure psychic automatism" as an artistic ideal, he developed the innovative method of
frottage, his time period to produce a comfort layout, just
like the surface of a piece of wood. Via laying
paper or canvas over it and rubbing it with a pencil or some charcoal, In forest and sun,
Ernst used this method which coalesced among1925 and 1928 all
through 3 critical years of experimentation to create a
petrified forest, by means of scraping away almost-dry paint on
the canvas (grattage), the artist produced the encircled sun at
the center of the composition. Ernst mixed factors of
the outside global in unexpected and poetic ways, ensuing in
surrealist ‘landscapes of the mind’. This portray belongs to Ernst’s
first series of forest and sun images,This painting is certainly
one of six variations of the forest and sun theme by Ernst.
As in the other five canvases, the tree trunks suggest a
letter within the artist's name: in this situation, a
capital M.
