"My total conscious search in life has been for a new seeing, a new image, a new insight. This search not only includes the object, but the in-between places, the dawns and the dusks, the objective world...Whatever creation man invents, the image can be found in nature. We cannot see anything of which we are not already aware. The inner, the outer equal one."
- Louise Nevelson, from John I. H. Baur, Nature in Art, New York: Whitney Museum of American Art, 1957
