The walls have ears and the hills have eyes. Unusual sculptures by Louise Bourgeois fit into the landscape of American Williamstown and are in harmony with the old building overgrown with ivy - is not it an open-air museum? And at night, the eyes-sculptures also glow.
The author of the project, the famous sculptor Louise Bourgeois, lived a long life, during which she developed her own symbolic language. So, for example, in her work a spider does not mean fear, but maternal care (the most famous creation of the artist depicts a huge spider on high legs, this work is called "Maman").
But on this the topic of maternal supervision was clearly not exhausted. In 2001, Louise Bourgeois created a series of works for the Williamstown Museum of Art, Massachusetts, USA.
The unusual sculptures of the Eyes project illustrate the metaphor of the “eyes of the earth”. It used to be the name of lakes, blue and bottomless. It seems that a different image is closer to a modern inhabitant of a metropolis. The city lights glowing in the dark are a reflection of the starry sky above us, which descended to earth with the appearance of electricity.
People created their own version of the ancient stoic Argus - a creature that personified the starry sky among the ancient Greeks. The eyes of the earthly Argus, embodied in the unusual sculptures of Louise Bourgeois made of granite and bronze, are scattered throughout America - isn’t it a map of earthly constellations?
Here, for example, benches from the Olympic sculpture park in Seattle - hello to Williamstown eyes from the opposite coast of the United States.
The Earth watches over people, her eyes glow softly in the dark, whether it be the night lights of the ever-awake cities or the granite-bronze sculptures of Louise Bourgeois.
