Perhaps overly presented as a sculptor of matriarchal spiders and tortured bodies, the French-American Louise Bourgeois was in fact also a prolific painter who knew how to capture her most intimate thoughts and exorcise her traumas with the same ease and elan as in her three-dimensional creations: another facet which the Belvedere in Vienna draws attention to as part of the celebration of its 300 years of existence as a landmark building, without of course refraining from including a few of the pieces that make her an icon.
