Transparent Horizon 1975

"Transparent Horizon" is a 1975 sculpture by Louise Nevelson, known for her abstract, monumental works. The sculpture is composed of geometric, angular shapes cut from black painted wood and welded together. Nevelson is renowned for her use of negative space, and the interplay of light and shadow in her works. The black painted surface of the sculpture emphasizes this interplay, creating a sense of mystery and depth. Her pieces often evoke a sense of the urban landscape, the modern city, and even the human experience, and she is well known for her use of repetition, rhythm, and geometric forms in her compositions.
