[8] Louise Bourgeois
I was trying to think of a title for Louise Bourgeois. How about a legend? How about she wasn't fully recognized until she was in her 70s? How about unabashed, unapologetically brilliant? This is Louise Bourgeois, the sculptor, installation artist, painter, printmaker, to name a few.
Photo credit of Louise by Robert Mapplethorpe. 1982.

Customer Reviews
Intrigue plus surprising vulnerability
These stories are SO fascinating, and I like to listen while I look up the particular artist’s works:)…but Jennifer Brickey’s openness about both her passion for art/freedom of expression/feminism, AND flying in the face of her specific challenges in even making a podcast at all (such as discomfort with hearing her own voice)…those are worth just as much as the stories. She leaves in a lot of her own mistakes, allowing us to hear our host have to take a sentence again, for example. With that level of willingness to be messy and vulnerable, it’s no wonder she is such a remarkable visual artist in her own right (please look up her work, if you’re unfamiliar!).
Rambles but good content
Rambles a little, but good content if you don’t mind the disorganization.
