Louise Nevelson (Entree #4)

Louise Nevelson's "Black Wall" is a three dimensional sculpture made out of metal and painted wood. The sculpture is made of numerous small boxes containing pieces of a machine. This particular piece caught my eye because of it's bold shapes and sharp, distinct cuts. Although "Black Wall" is filled with diversity, all of the different elements flow together in unity. Although Nevelson's use of boxes is very different than Joseph Cornell's work, both artists use boxes to design unique pieces that communicate a specific message.
