More quotes by Louise Bourgeois
Sometimes it is necessary to make a confrontation-and I like that.
Louise Bourgeois
Art is a guarantee of sanity.
Louise Bourgeois
In my sculpture, it's not an image I am seeking, it's not an idea. My goal is to re-live a past emotion. My art is an exorcism, and beauty is something I never talk about.
Louise Bourgeois
I was a runaway girl from France who married an American and moved to New York City. Im not sure I would have continued as an artist had I remained in Paris because of the family setup.
Louise Bourgeois
Everywhere in the modern world there is neglect, the need to be recognized, which is not satisfied. Art is a way of recognizing oneself, which is why it will always be modern.
Louise Bourgeois
I have drawn my whole life. My parents were in the tapestry restoration business, and as a young girl, I would draw in the missing parts of the tapestry that needed to be re-woven. My ability to draw made me indispensable to my parents.
Louise Bourgeois
The spider is an animal who eats mosquitoes. That's why I love the spider - it is the only way we have to deal with these insects.
Louise Bourgeois
Art is a way of recognizing oneself.
Louise Bourgeois
Tell your own story, and you will be interesting.
Louise Bourgeois
I am a searcher... I always was... and I still am... searching for the missing piece.
Louise Bourgeois
I always had the fear of being separated and abandoned. The sewing is my attempt to keep things together and make things whole.
Louise Bourgeois
My work disturbs people and nobody wants to be disturbed. They are not fully aware of the effect my work has on them, but they know it is disturbing.
Louise Bourgeois
I was raised a Catholic. But I am not religious. In my work, I am interested in real flesh and blood.
Louise Bourgeois
Every day you have to abandon your past or accept it and then, if you cannot accept it, you become a sculptor.
Louise Bourgeois
You must put the essence of what you want to say into a painting. The rest is arbitrary. Chosen with discernment, but chosen, and choice involves elimination.
Louise Bourgeois
I am not what I am, I am what I do with my hands.
Louise Bourgeois
A work of art doesn't have to be explained. If you do not have any feeling about this, I cannot explain it to you. If this doesn't touch you, I have failed.
Louise Bourgeois
My knives are like a tongue - I love, I do not love, I hate. If you don’t love me, I am ready to attack. I am a double-edged knife.
Louise Bourgeois
If you flatter me, or if you look at me the right way, I will kill myself to please you. It's very painful to be an overachiever.
Louise Bourgeois
Artists are born not made. There's nothing you can do for them.
Louise Bourgeois
