Femme Maison
The ''Femme Maison'' (1946–47) series of paintings by American artist Louise Bourgeois address the question of female identity. In these paintings, the heads and bodies of nude female figures have been replaced by architectural forms such as buildings and houses. ''Femme Maison'' translates from the French as ‘housewife’: literally, ‘woman house’. Throughout ''Femme Maison'', Bourgeois shows the home as an essentially female place, in which she can explore ideas about female identity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Louise Bourgeois: Room 1 | Tate )〕
Bourgeois said the Femme Maison "does not know that she is half naked, and she does not know that she is trying to hide. That is to say, she is totally self-defeating because she shows herself at the very moment that she thinks she is hiding."
==Interpretations==
These paintings are frequently read by women as a representation of the abolition of identify for women in home and family, alluding to the "problem with no name" that Betty Friedan identified in the 60s as the dissatisfaction and the lack of fulfilment of women who embarked on careers as housewives and mothers in suburban America.
Another interpretation notes that for Bourgeois, architecture symbolizes the social world that attempts to define the individual, in contrast to the inner world of emotion. The tension between figure and architecture mirrors the dichotomy between mind and body.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Louise Bourgeois, the Theory, and Practice of Psychoanalysis )〕
