2nd Grade Assemblage Art
Louise Nevelson was an artist known for her monochromatic abstract sculptures.
In the 1940s, Nevelson experimented with different styles and materials such as wood and junk that she found in the streets of New York. She began working with monochrome paint, particularly black, and assembled the sculpture pieces in groupings.
One of her famous wall pieces might be constructed from bits of old chairs, scrap wood, salvaged railings and rusted gears, but all of these disparate pieces have been abstracted into a unity of form through a single color of paint. Her artwork illustrates the power and simplicity of materials. No matter how humble the supplies those materials can create something beautiful.
