according to Louise Bourgeois a leading sculptor of the 20th century
''an artist can show things that other people are terrified of expressing''
to what extent is this true?
what I can't say or of think of orally I usually tend to write about the reason being is that the opportunity has not presented itself for me to say it in the way I say it in writing.
fear however never crossed my mind and so this made me think the following:
does fear shape our everyday self and therefore how we express ourselves artistically and literally is because of it?
and if so literature and the arts in general reflect it rather evase it. In other words one is not ridding oneself from fear but instead one is inculcated by it.
we learn unconsciously and therefore learn to fear something when we could have simply taken to it openly and in spoken.
rationality however has a place in history and also literature. one must rationalise when one writes in order to get fear out of the way.
the other point is that one can read and write so much and yet speaking is not as in engaged as in the last two skills. the fear of speaking out is overtaken by the art and literature itself.
