The Coco Chanel of the Art World





Louise Bourgeois.

Im not sure if I have been completely distracted by fashion much of my life but the influences of art have skipped passed me. Time to pay attention to the art world as of...NOW. Iv found the fabulous (yes she certainly does own that word)Louise Bourgeois. (25 Dec 1911- 31 May 2010) How I have never heard of this lady before I do not know.

She is a french-American artist gone sculptor contributing insanely talented work to both. Her most attributed recognitiom today is that she is the founder of confesional art. Her collection of work is muchly related to her own life much like an autobigprahy and her later work is inspired by pornography, (yes I said pornography) which I admit is a bizarre mix...98year old women and pornography..an association lets not delve tooo deep in too. Louise Borgeouise is a big contributer to Modern & contemporary art.
I get the feeling from her work and reading about her inspirations that she was a very heartful, possibly lost woman with a facade and inner self which was quite simply soleful and fabulous.

Louise was a great contributor to art which you can recognise that from her work.

I salute you Louise Bourgeois. I am inspired.
