Louise Nevelson – Sky Cathedral

Our guide first asked us what our first impressions were when we saw this artwork. I told her I felt like this artwork was made with burnt objects. Louise used everyday objects that she found in her Manhattan home and painted them all black. She said they were all black because it means “totality.” She named it “Sky Cathedral” and reminds me of cathedrals’ stained glasses. The color doesn’t resemble stained glass at all but the collage is.

路易斯天空大教堂

我們的導覽老師首先問了我們當我們看到這件藝術品時的第一印象是什麼。我告訴她，我覺得這件藝術品是用被燒過的物品製成的。路易斯使用她在曼哈頓家中找到的日常物品，並將它們全部塗成黑色。她說這是因為黑色代表著”完整性”。她將它命名為”Sky Cathedral”（天空大教堂），讓我聯想到大教堂的彩色玻璃窗。雖然顏色完全不像彩色玻璃窗，但這件藝術品的拼貼形狀卻很相似。
