Louise Bourgeois - From the Anticipation category:

An artist can show things that other people are terrified of expressing. (Louise Bourgeois)
Louise Bourgeois - From the Colour category:
The colour blue - that is my colour - and the colour blue means you have left the drabness of day-to-day reality to be transported into - not a world of fantasy, it's not a world of fantasy - but a world of freedom where you can say what you like and what you don't like. This has been expressed forever by the colour blue, which is really sky blue. (Louise Bourgeois)

I do not need the musing of the philosophers to tell me what I am doing. It would be more interesting to let me know why I am doing it. (Louise Bourgeois)
Louise Bourgeois - From the Drawing category:

Louise Bourgeois - From the Ego category:
I am not what I am, I am what I do with my hands... (Louise Bourgeois)

Louise Bourgeois - From the Sculpture category:
At the dinner table when I was very little, I would hear people bickering... To escape the bickering, I started modelling the soft bread with my fingers. With the dough of the French bread - sometimes it was still warm - I would make little figures. And I would line them up on the table and this was really my first sculpture. (Louise Bourgeois)
