Nevelson's Mirror Art Analysis

Description Nevelson’s Mirror Image stands tall and has many different shapes all over it. He uses only wood to create this masterpiece, which looks like a very hard and time consuming piece of art. Instead of making the woods multiple colors he decides to keep them all the same, and the color he painted works perfectly fine. The artworks looks like a shelf, but covered up. It features many different lines and shapes, which are mostly simple lines with some curves. The artwork was landscape against the wall at the museum of fine arts.
Analyze
Throughout the art work there are lines, shapes, and circles all over. All the shapes seem like a pattern, or repeat a few times from where it was placed. The first thing that catches the eye is the line directly in the middle. The middle has a simple “l” line, but with a few marks; almost like a stick drawing of a tree. The entire artwork is the same color, which is good because it makes the artwork more enjoyable. Also, by making it all the same color the artwork is easy on the eyes, the author doesn’t use bright colors instead he uses darker paint which can also attract attention.
Interpretation The artist who created the work was born in Russia in 1900.
He moved to America later on in his life and created the artwork. It’s difficult to determine what Nevelson was going through at the time he was creating the art, but overall it’s pretty simple. There’s not too much that’s going on; there’s a different variation of shapes and lines, but nothing crazy that blows the mind. This artwork can represent some type of image since the name of it is “Mirror image.” The artist is maybe trying to tell us what he was thinking when he created his
work.
Evaluation
I think this artwork is amazing; it’s not something you always see. It’s different from all other artworks because of the style and color. Most of the works of art have many different colors, but this one stays as one and functions as a piece of art perfectly fine. The best piece of the art is that, it’s very easy to look at and determine the shapes that were used. It doesn’t have simple lines, which is another amazing thing. The only drawback of this artwork is that it is very big. The artwork is maybe 10 feet tall or taller it is also very wide and takes up a massive amount of space. Overall though, if you ignore the size it is one of the best artworks I’ve seen in a very long time which for me makes it a quality piece of art. The artist seems to be famous because she was part of a feminist movement as well. Also she created a total of 72 artworks, and you only create more art if you become successful or famous.
