i never heard of her (though i don't know that many artists). the first one is really intriguing since it can be interpreted in so many different ways!

Louise Bourgeois created some really powerful, thought provoking work. Always an influence...

Mathilda said...

I think I saw a giant spider on the moon yesterday.

But it was Louise inventing a new toy to play.

I have never heard of this person before, but I guess now's the time.

Natalie said...

How awfully fun this is, pushing fashion to the limits is what makes life so exciting!

Just wanted to tell you that you inspire me. I went to your archive because those are my favorite tavi blogs. I trashed half of my blog and made it more personal. I loved the blog you wrote about in your closet. I loved the wood ladder with paint all over it. I also loved the one about how your hair looked like a loaf of bread. You make me so happy. You are a treasure!

Sam Harvey said...

One more thing. Did you see Whatever Works - Woody Allen. I was thinking of you when I watched it. Sick.

CyborgCoquette said...

Um, can I hug you? You're 14 and you know who Louis Bourgeois is (and love her)? You win Best Human Award.

I miss her terribly. She was such an inspiration, and I always secretly wished I could go to one of her salons and have her rip apart my work just so I could bask in the awesomeness that (still is) Bourgeois.

Despite being agoraphobic, I loved her spiders. Eww... Spiders!

Steve said...

Ah, to believe I just learned about her a few months ago when watching a great PBS documentary: http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/bourgeois/index.html (I saw it streaming on Netflix)

@tedexi1988: いいえ,美術家の名はルイーズ ( http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%AB%E3%82%A4%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA%E3%83%BB%E3%83%96%E3%83%AB%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7%E3%83%AF )

Insomnia said...

RIP, she was one courageous woman!

M said...

the first thing is really... dunno... inspiring? inspiring in so many different ways?

but yes, I love it.

Rikki G. Reynolds said...

I wrote a response about the death of Louise and the death of artists, but also (and mostly) about that enigmatic feminine body-ness about her work, and a lot of other artists' work. You'll like it, it has zines, 'cause I once wrote a zine about enigmatic feminine body-ness in zines and in art.

I can send you a copy of the whole zine someday when I make more copies of it. I'm out!

Lucy in the Sky said...

no way :(

Unknown said...

i don't know if it's just me.. but all three of these images relate and it's quite beautiful. as if the first image was made inspired by the latter 2 images.

...am i talking nonsense?

Fly said...

I've schedulated to go to Venice next weekend to see her last exibition :(
Mrs Bourgeois RIP.

AnAzevedo said...

Tavi, after this post i doubt i will ever be surprised by you. 14 years old and you know Louise Bourgeois, an amazing artist, one of my favourite sculptors ever, a woman 7 times your age...
you are amazing too...

Emilie ! said...

No! Why are all the great creative bodies suddenly leaving us? This is so sad.

I didn't know who she was until I was assigned to do a project on her last month. I wish I had learned of her earlier because she was such an infectious, unique, brilliant woman. I really truly admire her.

I find it amazing that she was "only discovered" by the time she was 70. I love her work and I'm so glad that I've had the chance to see some of her work exhibited.

i love how she always orders her staffpersn to bring her cans of coca cola.

Karmabalance Deb said...

RIP LB! Your work will live on!

Jai'me Hughes said...

Most amazing sculptor of the last century. Truly someone who made advances for the world of art and design by playing by her own rules. The world has lost one of the best artists, and I have lost a dear friend.

I guess we can't live forever :(. such a wonderful woman and artist.

Hazard Ahead said...

So sad, she rose to fame so late in life, her work really is a genuine inspiration to women (sorry that sentance sounded a bit cheesey).

make believe said...

She was such an amazing woman and a huge inspiration. I will always look to the print on my wall "BE CALM" and think of her beautiful soul. May she rest in peace.

Aleksandra said...

I am ashamed, because just now I met her incredible creativity. I want to learn about her life. Through you, thank you.

chapter6 said...

And I thought she would live forever... she had such a strong presence in the female art world and continues to with her enormous sculptures. Truely inspiring woman. I admire you tremendously for having knowing this artist at your age, I only discovered her my senior year of college. I believe you have the power to do great things in this world just as she did.

Mathilda said...

I thought you were going to comment Kazuo Ohno´s passaway as well.

Both were from the same generation and passed away the same week. :(

deryik said...

tavi, she was a great mind and you are so sweet to respect her and say aurevoir. thank you for that.

i was exactly at your age when i saw her work, "maman" the giant spider, in istanbul biennial and i felt like hugging a spider for the first time in my life. i was so into mythology back then. the spider, mother of fine arts, was there in an ancient byzantine church with all her glory. i guess it was a moment of feeling what artists are capable of, how they can relate to one's inner soul. a feeling of infinity.

Kim Finley said...

I'm glad you posted a few thoughts about Louise. I bet, if you two had met, you would have been great friends, even if only for a moment.

Lizzy said...

Great post, she deserves the recognition.
