Book Review: Fantastic Reality: Louise Bourgeois: A Story of Modern Art, by Mignon Nixon
No full textThe first image in Mignon Nixon’s new study of Louise Bourgeois is a photograph of the artist taken in
1947 in a New York apartment. She is kneeling on the floor in a gesture of mock homage to Joan Miró

occasion of the 1994 Miró retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The re-publication
of the photograph, this time at the beginning of an art historical monograph devoted to the work of
Louise Bourgeois, provides a neat visual condensation of the framework that structures this study of
her practice: surrealism, psychoanalysis and feminism
