Louise Berliawsky Nevelson

On this day- April 17, 1988.- One of the most creative and important artists during the 20th Century Louise Berliawsky Nevelson passed away. Born Leah Berliawsky; September 23, 1899 – April 17, 1988. Nevelson was an American artist, and known for her abstract expressionist “crates” grouped together to form a new creation. She used found objects or everyday discarded things in her “assemblages” or assemblies, one of which was three stories high: "When you put together things that other people have thrown out, you’re really bringing them to life – a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created." Please educate yourself on this historic artist and celebrate the gorgeous work she created!
