Louise Bourgeois. 2003. Photograph by Nanda Lanfranco. Losing Louise MIGNON NIXON Monday, May 31, 2010 Louise Bourgeois surrenders. Woman-house leaves home. Fallen Woman lapses into the past tense. But then, Louise Bourgeois never shrank from the past. Tuesday, June 1 The novelist Amos Oz writes in the New York Times on the subject of the deadly Israeli military strike against the Gaza aid flotilla yesterday, the day of Louise Bourgeoisâ surrender. Violence is intoxicating, Oz observes, for those who have known force as its victims.1 Bourgeoisâ art drives this point home. Ozâs op-ed piece overshadows every obituary. âNewsnight,â the BBCâs late-night television news program, ends with a tribute to Bourgeois, featuring a brief clip of the artist in her studio, explaining the dynamics of violence for the audience at home. The scene provides a fitting close to the dayâs news. First, Bourgeois expounds, there is the access of pleasure from the violent act. She enunciates this word with a rising note, drawn out for effect, extenuating the plea -zure of aggression. But then, she warns, comes the de-press -shun. Pronouncing the slow, percussive de-press -shun, her voice plunges to a low note. Depress-shun outlasts plea-zure on Bourgeoisâ tongue.
