Jamily Meurer Poses As Louise Nevelson In Max Cornwall Images For CR Fashion Book #13
/
“You take any material and when you convert it to black,” she once curtly stated. "It’s so distinguished.” Of the all-encompassing black she often painted her reliefs, she noted that this “silhouette” was the “essence of the universe.” What is a silhouette but a body, some dark, tidal form? What is essence besides everything, distilled? Thus Nevelson’s style, her own intricately assembled silhouette, its own definitive form, is not without meaning. It was how she staged her body and her body of work for the world. And she staged it brilliantly. In 1977, the critic Robert Hughes would note of Nevelson: “The dandy of American art is a woman."
