Frases de Louise Bourgeois

Louise Joséphine Bourgeois ,[2]​ fue una artista y escultora francesa nacionalizada estadounidense. Conocida por sus esculturas de arañas, que le valió el apodo de "Mujer Araña", es una de las artistas más importantes del arte contemporáneo.[3]​ Su escultura arácnida más grande se titula Maman y ha sido exhibida en numerosos lugares del mundo, con una altura de más de 9,27 metros.[4]​

En la década de 1940, después de haberse mudado a Nueva York con su esposo, Robert Goldwater, se inclinó por la escultura.

Reconocida como fundadora del Arte Confesional,[5]​ sus trabajos hacen referencia a la figura humana, y sus fragmentos, expresando temas como la traición, la ansiedad y la soledad. Su trabajo era puramente autobiográfico y estaba inspirado en su trauma de la infancia causado por el descubrimiento del amorío entre su padre y su niñera.[5]​ Wikipedia

Louise Bourgeois: Frases en inglés

“I became aware of Louise Bourgeois in my first or second year at Brighton Art College. One of my teachers, Stuart Morgan, curated a small retrospective of her work at the Serpentine, and both he and another teacher, Edward Allington, saw something in her, and me, and thought I should be aware of her. I thought the work was wonderful. It was her very early pieces, The Blind Leading the Blind, the wooden pieces and some of the later bronze works. Biographically, I don't really think she has influenced me, but I think there are similarities in our work. We have both used the home as a kind of kick-off point, as the space that starts the thoughts of a body of work. I eventually got to meet Louise in New York, soon after I made House. She asked to see me because she had seen a picture of House in the New York Times while she was ironing it one morning, so she said. She was wonderful and slightly kind of nutty; very interested and eccentric. She drew the whole time; it was very much a salon with me there as her audience, watching her. I remember her remarking that I was shorter than she was. I don't know if this was true but she was commenting on the physicality of making such big work and us being relatively small women. When you meet her you don't know what's true, because she makes things up. She has spun her web and drawn people in, and eaten a few people along the way.”
