Louise Bourgeois, Blue Is the Color of Your Eyes, 2008

Titled Blue is the Colour of Your Eyes, this beautiful drypoint print by the late, great French-American artist Louise Bourgeois is ocular only in colour, presenting viewers with a somewhat surreal depiction of the female chest, seen from above and shaded a watery blue. Breasts feature frequently in the feminist artist’s oeuvre, as symbols of both motherhood and sexuality, while this particular work embodies Bourgeois’ preoccupation with materiality and abstraction, a driving force throughout her practice.
