Bleeding Words: Louise Bourgeois’s and José Leonilson’s Love Images
Keywords:
literature and visual arts, love, creativity, Bourgeois, Louise, Leonilson, José, word and imageAbstract
As one tries to grasp love and its images within José Leonilson’s production, a multiplicity of aspects and meanings are seen that also relate to Louise Bourgeois’s oeuvre in regard to the interest in human relations. Through a comparative approach to both artists’ poetics, an understanding is created that love is not a simplistic action and all the words read in or applied to their visual discourse must be considered within a wide range of love in visual and literary images.References
