Louise Bourgeois : made giant spiders and wasn't sorry

Louise Bourgeois was a world-famous artist who told stories about her life and her family through her art. She made giant spiders that surprised (and sometimes terrified) people, but she wasn't sorry ! Spiders reminded her of her mother, who was a wonderful weaver.
An inspiring story about a young girl who went on to make giant sculptures at the spectacular age of 87, and become one of today's most important and beloved artists.
