		The Ukrainian-American sculptor and graphic artist Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) who was employed as a teacher for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1937 is best known for her monochromatic sculptures made of fragments of carved and found wood.

		DS: Louise, in the very recent past, of course, you've been involved with Artists Equity, and I know that, as you said before, in earlier periods of your life, you had been reluctant to become so much involved with this knowing a great many people and being involved organizationally.
		Louise, one thing we should fill in for the record is something more about various shows you've had in your gallery activities.
		DS: Louise, your home itself is a museum and has always been such an exciting place for artists; and it certainly has for me. I wondered if you'd like to talk for a moment about the kinds of things you've brought together in this great house and loved and cherished here.

		(Bobbie Greenfield Gallery, Santa Monica) (Bobbie Greenfield Gallery, Santa Monica) Louise Nevelson's painted terra-cotta sculptures and figurative drawings from the 1930s and '40s provide us with an insider's view of what the artist was thinking about early on in her career.
		In the smaller ceramic works and figure drawings that date from that period, the simplification of the human form to carefully aligned shapes and elegantly calibrated textures and neutral spaces is reminiscent of Matisse's formal studies.
		They also seem to preview Nevelson's later investigations into the simplicity of form taken from the functional shapes in American craft, a concern that informs her monumental sculpture of the late '60s and throughout '70s.
