Louise Nevelson

The Magic Garden
1953–1955

A faded print featuring abstract figures and shapes on a rectangular piece of paper with aged, yellowed edges. The artwork includes what appears to be a partial representation of faces and organic forms, with a distinctively primitive or cubist style. The print is centered on the paper, leaving wide margins around it.
