The Secret to a Good Life
Smith, Bob and Roberta and Voorsanger, Jessica (2018) The Secret to a Good Life. [Exhibition/show, Painting, Sculpture]
'The Secret to a Good Life' was an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art celebrating the life of the artist Deirdre Borlase. The underlying agenda of the exhibition was to celebrate women artists who have been overshadowed by history, their husbands or purely sexist intolerance. Deirdre Borlase graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1946 and had a prolific career. She is the mother of Bob and Roberta Smith (my husband). Alongside paintings by Deirdre Borlase were 3 large scale collaborative sculptures by Smith, myself and our daughter Etta Voorsanger-Brill. According to Deirdre Borlase "The secret to a good life is to get a good pencil a 2B or 4B. You don't want an HB, those are for architects!" Borlase passed away in July 2018 and did not see the exhibition realised.
