In the realm of modern art, Louise Bourgeois stands as a towering figure, her creations weaving the profound with the personal. "Louise Bourgeois by Louise Bourgeois" offers an unprecedented dive into the artist's inner world through her lesser-known medium: drawings. This exquisite collection not only showcases the breadth and depth of Bourgeois's vision but also serves as a window into her soul, presenting works that oscillate between haunting and beautiful, raw and intricate. Each piece is a testament to Bourgeois's mastery of line and form, inviting the viewer into a dialogue with the artist herself. Beyond the visual feast, the book is interspersed with intimate interviews and reflective comments by Bourgeois, providing rare insights into her creative process and the deeply autobiographical nature of her work. Through her own words, readers gain access to the complexities of Bourgeois's thoughts and the emotions embedded in her art, making "Louise Bourgeois by Louise Bourgeois" not just a catalog of drawings, but a profound narrative of an artist's journey through her own psyche. This volume is an essential addition to the collections of art lovers, offering a unique perspective on the oeuvre of one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.

Fantastic, and I’ve given [this book] to so many people. - Caterina Fake
The 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, it’s not a world of fantasy - but a world of freedom where you can say what you like and what you don’t like. This has been expressed forever by the colour blue, which is really sky blue.
— Louise Bourgeois, Louise Bourgeois
