Louise Nevelson knew as a child she was destined to be an artist. She immersed herself in the artistic life of New York in the 1920s, where she worked as an acress, singer, dancer, and painter. In the 1930s nevelson studied with Hans Hofmann, the influential teacher and abstract painter, from whom she learned about cubism and collage. In the mid-1950s Nevelson created room-size reliefs made of found objects tucked within stacked boxes, all painted black.
