<p>This is a biography of Louise Nevelson, who was the boldest, most original American sculptor of the twentieth century. Her monumental works of wood, found objects and metal can be seen in parks and museums throughout the world.A flamboyant iconoclast born Leah Berliawsky in Czarish Russia in 1899, she grew up in Main, ostracized as a Jew and a foreigner. At twenty she escaped to New York as Mrs. Charles Nevelson. She lived and loved with lusty abandon, often in grinding poverty, undil she achieved fame and fortune at sixty after struggling as a woman and an artist in a world dominated by men. She was a self-made phenomenon who spanned the century and left it at eighty-eight, proud, angry, imperious--a woman whose powerful art and remarkable life made her a legend in her own time.</p>
