She is known for a body of work that spans sculpture, painting, and printmaking but eludes any aesthetic classification. Her life and art were so intertwined that it is often difficult to tell them apart. In her own words: \"Sculpture is the body. My body is the sculpture.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKnife-Woman\u003c\/em\u003e by Marie-Laure Bernadac traces the career of a great artist, her training, and her influences, as it tells the story of an exceptional woman's life. Featuring personal photographs as well as reproductions of her work, this landmark publication is the first major biography to draw on the artist's unpublished personal archives, including diaries, correspondence, and psychoanalytic writings, as well as the many interviews she gave and the reminiscences of those who knew her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBernadac elucidates Bourgeois's friendships and rivalries with other major figures, including sculptor Louise Nevelson and Museum of Modern Art director Alfred H.
