'Spiderwoman'


Louise Bourgeois died yesterday at 98 after seven decades as an artist. Ms. Bourgeois did not find the recognition she deserved until well into her 70's. When you find yourself giving in to that wasteful self-doubt, remember Louise Bourgeois. She still worked right up until the day before she was hospitalized. A true maverick and inspiration. R.I.P

"Louise Bourgeois shared a set of repeated themes centered on the human body and its need for nurture and protection in a frightening world."
