I don’t think Louise Bourgeois’ abstractions are more powerful than straightforward depictions of the male and female body, but I felt Constantine Brancusi’s abstraction succeed in the task. I feel this way because I found the sculpture representation of the human genitals to be very minimal, although I found the meaning of the works to be thought provoking. For example, in the abstract sculpture,Cumul I by Louise Bourgeois, an individual can see mounds and oval/sphere shapes emerging out of the cloth. These spherical figures are supposed to represent breasts and penisis, but I found myself having various interpretation such as the figures could be bubbles or eyeball trying to break away from the fabric. I believe the artwork has more impact
