Louise Bourgeois: The Personages

Louise Bourgeois' drawings for the La Fabrica Matador series of "Artist Portfolios," originally produced in 1999, are executed on music notation paper using red, blue and black ballpoint pens. In a short statement written for the portfolio, Bourgeois writes: "At first there is terrific tension. Then slowly line, shape, space and color, like notes on a score, begin to form a rhythm."
