This poster is a reproduction of the lithograph that is part of the exhibition, "Louise Bourgeois: The Body in Pieces," on view at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. It is the only poster in the exhibition, which includes sculptures, drawings, and paintings. This work is one of her most famous lithographs. The image shows the saint Sebastienne being pierced by arrows, in a traditional depiction of martyrdom. This image is intended to evoke both sexual and religious connotations. Bourgeois creates work that explores her own sexuality and emotions. She was inspired by her love of martyrs, and this work references the spiritual violence she experienced in her childhood.
