Don't get the green disease of envy. Don't be fooled by success and money. Don't let anything come between you and your work.
Louise BourgeoisWomen had to work like slaves in the art world, but a lot of men got to the top through their charm. And it hurt them. To be young and pretty didn't help a woman in the art world, because the social scene, and the buying scene, was in the hands of women - women who had money. They wanted male artists who would come alone and be their charming guests. Rothko could be very charming. It was a court. And the artist buffoons came to the court to entertain, to charm. Now it has changed, now the younger men are in - older women and younger men.
Louise BourgeoisEveryone should have the right to marry. To make a commitment to love someone forever is a beautiful thing.
Louise BourgeoisThe 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, itโs not a world of fantasy - but a world of freedom where you can say what you like and what you donโt like. This has been expressed forever by the colour blue, which is really sky blue.
