BBC News - US sculptor Louise Bourgeois dies aged 98

Spider women dies! America loses a great artist~ after reading this article the two questions that lingered in my mind were: 1. Why was the spider her inspiration in art? 2. Why did she come to the United Sates from France? Just curious? Feel free to contribute your opinions on these questions.

  1. Why was the spider her inspiration in art?
    Louise bourgeois said that the spider sculpture was her inspiration in art because it reminded her of her mother a person that was always spinning and weaving. It also reminded her of her childhood in France.she came to the U.S. from france because in france it was hard for a female to be recognized an an artist or sculpture.

  2. I think that spiders were an inspiration in her art because it is something no one else would think of doing because most people are afraid of spiders also it is unique.

    Thanks,
