Louise Bourgeois, 1911-2010
Jul. 24th, 2010 11:41 amI wanted to note the passing in May of the captain of the Old Babes team.
She had the very dubious distinction of shining like a true genius at all the dreary exhibitions of feminist art the women's museum in D.C. mounted -- like watching Dr. J shoot in the midst of mortals
or Baryshnikov do his Nijinsky thing in rose-colored tights,
the magnitude of her talent and her engagement with some of the issues the worm artists were trifling with, radiated light and power evident to the merest layperson.
She was also a babe.
Vale, Louise Bourgeois.
