It took decades for Louise Nevelson’s bold, found-object sculptures to get their due. Faith Salie explores the artist’s legacy with her granddaughter and visits exhibitions in New York City and Columbus, Ohio. https://cbsn.ws/4kXZNty | CBS Sunday Morning

On this #FilmFriday of #WomensHistoryMonth, explore the work and process of the great Louise Nevelson (1899–1988), who was known for her elaborate and monumental sculptures made of found materials such as discarded wood and scrap metal. #DYK: Nevelson was in her 40s before she sold a work to anyone other than a fellow artist, and in her 60s before the press conceded her stature as one of America's foremost sculptors. 🎥 Watch the full 29-minute film that offers a window into her creative process

Louise Nevelson gained recognition for her assemblage sculptures: monochrome wall reliefs made of wood boxes (often milk crates) filled with lumber scraps in abstract shapes. She painted them a uniform black, white, or sometimes gold, colors that imbue the works with a dreamy quality and distance them from the mundane world. ▪️⚫️◾️⬛️➖ CREATE: Gather some recyclables or other “junk.” Paint them all black and arrange in a box to create your own Louise Nevelson-inspired work. 🖌 Share your creation
