REST IN PEACE, DEAREST LOUISE

Louise Bourgeois. 1911-2010.







"Art is a guarantee of sanity. That is the most important thing I have said."
Louise Bourgeois


Revisit the poems from her engravings "He Disappeared Into Complete Silence". 
They're small and strong and just lovely.

LOUISE BOURGEOIS POEMS

'Once there was a girl and she loved a man. They had a date next to the eighth street station of the sixth avenue subway. She had put on her good clothes and a new hat. Somehow he could not come. So the purpose of this picture is to show how beautiful she was. I really mean that she was beautiful.'


'Once a man was telling a story, it was a very good story too, and it made him very happy, but he told it so fast that nobody understood it.'


[1982 Robert Mapplethorpe]


"The hour is dedicated to revenge"
Louise Bourgeois
