“Collage is part of a perpetual voyage of self-discovery and refinement – an intellectual grand tour through philosophies and civilizations…distilled in the “tearingness” of original edges.”
Robert Motherwell
How to be an artist according to Louise Bourgeois:
Lesson #1: Make art about your life. Lesson #2: Find inspiration in all of nature, including spiders and maggots. Lesson #3: Revisit the same themes over and over again (but also keep experimenting). Lesson #4: Never stop making art.
