Small tribute to Louise Bourgeois

Published in Illustration | 2 comments

It's hard to write something about Louise Bourgeois, the extent of its trail may be limited by the words. For me it is one of the great contemporary artists, strength, tenacity and artistic legacy transcends boundaries, we can see that, ironically summarized in some of the pictures that portrays. In Louise Bourgeois can sense through his eyes and his hands a palpable trace of his artistic direction and energy. In his work the sketches are perhaps the least of my interests, But the sculptures and writings convey a warmth that emerges from his biography tissue and turning into something much more universal than the reading made from the anecdotal. Sculpture ” Mom” was covered by the attached sketch. The drawing done in pencil and ink, years ago, was a quick note that revolved around readings from the great book that collects his writings and interviews: “Destruction of the Father / Reconstruction of the father”. This year 2010 died on 98 years in New York.
