Like so many female artists, Louise Bourgeois has been obscured and left out. I don't remember hearing about her in my art history classes but then art history has been mainly about male artists. I love how she explored herself and her world through her art. To dive so deeply she leaves the common ground and explores the invisible world that drives us, mostly without our awareness that she finds expression for what many of us can't even name. Art can be a great tool in understanding our humanity.

She is pretty well known in contemporary art if you follow that circle, don't think she is left out.

‘I transform hate into love’ is one of my favourite quotes from an artist ever. I love Louise Bourgeois’ work and philosophy, this interview was wonderful. ‘This is the definition of sanity...’ an artist being truly in touch with their own emotions. It’s also the definition of honesty and courage.

I visited her artwork last summer in Beijing, at the point I don't really understand her work, I just feel a sense of sadness. After seeing this, I really feel in love with it. omg, wish I could re-visit it again, I would feel so much different and connect within this art.

The slander in this video is utterly outrageous. She didn't "feed" off of trauma, she used it, but to suggest that she NEEDED it or WELCOMED it to feed her art is to utterly objectify this person and fetishize her as a living art-making machine and NOT a person. Now my second point: If you would to suggest that she deeply wanted the parental love and guidance of her father YOU DO NOT NEED TO SAY SHE IS IN LOVE WITH HER FATHER. @ Jerry. What an insidious comment... Now my last point: I beyond love TATE videos and will not stop watching but this one blew me away in it's shallow commentary and lack of self-awareness. Frances, you prefaced the video saying that you had not thought about your interview questions to Louise, but I would conjecture that the real problem is that in your admiration you are fetishizing/idolizing her, and thereby misconstruing her humanity.

I love this idea that in life, we are always "making things, unmaking them, remaking them" trough failure and love. Life is movement and what we do with it and the happiness we obtain from it are also movement.

I had an opportunity to see an exhibit including her spider sculptures at SFMOMA a couple years back. I admire how Bourgeois was able to create a visual language which articulated complex and unresolved emotions towards her subject(s). I believe she fearlessly addressed difficult emotions.

I’m glad at last Louise is feeling better about her life. I’ve always felt sorry for her carrying such hatred for so long. She seems a miserable person still. Love? I don’t see it. Her work is great, disturbing, dark and wonderful. BTW, the spider is a weaver with the capacity to harm, even kill.
@Hassanthehorse Жыл бұрын
I think she seemed like a person who had a very hard and dark exterior shell but was agonizingly sensitive underneath it all. So much of her rough, mercurial personality seemed to stem from the betrayal and parental rejection she experienced due to the actions of her father. Perhaps her personality didn't exactly exude loving kindness, but I see so much love, albeit a kind of ambivalent and painful form of it, in some of her works, e.g. Maman.
@elizabethbogard7568 Жыл бұрын
I agree with you. To carry this hatred around so long must have been terrible. Some of her work is hard for me to look at. I don’t buy her explanation of the spider as a mother caring for her offspring.
