“Instead of tall and angular shapes regarded as masculine and aggressive, she now turned to soft, rounded forms identified as female or nurturing.”

“Her intimate, edgy sculpture was grounded in female experience, including relationships, giving birth and motherhood.”

“When Louise worried bout something, it often turned up in her art.”

“She wanted children and considered having them a "privilege," but art also "was a privilege given to me and I had to pursue it.”

“She doesn't attend gallery openings or apear at art-world parties. "People need to see the work. It's more me than my physical presence.”

“My inspiration comes from the beauty of the past. That's where I am completely omnipotent. -Louise Bourgeois”

“(How do you know a piece is finished?:) It's never finished. The subject is never exhausted. -Louise Bourgeois”
