Louise Bourgeois - He Disappeared into Complete Silence - Dilecta 2008

Produced in New York in 1947, He Disappeared into Complete Silence signifies Louise Bourgeois’s indepence and personal growth — it reflects her departure from painting and marks her independent stylistic identity in the postwar milieu. Consisting of nine parables and nine engravings, the work creates a universe in which eternal loneliness converges with absurdity and miscommunication, but never with resignation. The parables and etchings articulate witty tragedies from everyday life, to form what could be described as a fragile metaphysics of the human condition.
