Dawn's Landscape XL

[1] It currently is held by the Memorial Art Gallery (Accession Number: 2005.269) in Rochester, New York.It ranks 40th in the series and Louise Nevelson completed all 44 pairs between 1975 and 1976.

The sculpture is characterized by a harmonious interplay of shapes and textures, emphasizing Nyvelson's keen interest in light and shadow.

The monochromatic color palette (usually black or white) allows the viewer to focus on the form of the composition and thus explore the spatial relationships within the work.

Each part of the sculpture has been carefully crafted to create a sense of depth and movement that draws the eye and provokes contemplation.

[3] Literally and metaphorically, the work can be viewed as a 'landscape' - providing a sense of horizon, structure and division similar to the natural world, but presented in a distinctly abstract, man-made form.
