Note du spécialiste

‘The nature of creation is that you have to go inside and dig out. The very nature of creation is not a performing glory on the outside, it's a painful, difficult search within’
(L. Nevelson, quoted in B.K. Rapaport, The Sculpture of Louise Nevelson: Constructing a Legend, exh. cat., The Jewish Museum, New York, 2007, p. 36).
