Approach Quote by Louise Bourgeois

“What modern art means is that you have to keep finding new ways to express yourself, to express the problems, that there are no settled ways, no fixed approach. This is a painful situation, and modern art is about this painful situation of having no absolutely definite way of expressing yourself.” quote by Louise Bourgeois — Download Open image
