The artwork titled “The Olive Branch” by Louise Bourgeois was created in 2004 in the United States. As part of the Confessional Art movement, this piece falls within the genre of a sketch and study.
“The Olive Branch” features a vivid, minimalist depiction of two olive branches set within a circular boundary. The branches are boldly rendered in red, with a few black olives scattered among the branches. The surrounding circular line provides a clear frame, emphasizing the simplicity and elegance of the composition. The use of stark red and black against the white background highlights the organic forms of the branches and olives, creating a visually striking and thought-provoking study.
