Red Room (Child), Red Room (Parents), 1994, Louise Bourgeois


Working on my essay for Ideas in Art...

A work of art does not need an explanation. The work may be subject to many interpretations, but only one was in the mind of the artist. Some artists say to make the work readable for the public is the artist´s responsibility, but I don´t agree with that. The only responsibility is to be absolutely truthful to the self.
My work disturbs people and nobody wants to be disturbed. They are not fully aware of the effect my work has on them, but they know it is disturbing.
Louise Bourgeois, source unknown, 1979

A revisitar cds antigos, gosto da letra...

Vivemos esperando
Dias melhores
Dias de paz, dias a mais
Dias que não deixaremos
Para trás

Vivemos esperando
O dia em que
Seremos melhores
(Melhores! Melhores!)
Melhores no amor
Melhores na dor
Melhores em tudo

Vivemos esperando
O dia em que seremos
Para sempre
Vivemos esperando
Dias melhores prá sempre
Dias melhores prá sempre
(Prá sempre!)...
