Number 36

 

I'm reading sculptor Louise Nevelson's book, Dawn + Dusk (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1976), assembled from taped conversations by her assistant, Diana MacKown.  I've been admiring Nevelson's shaping imagination and her larger-than-life energies.  What is so invigorating about her is her immense desire for and will to work.  

There is a page in the book showing a hand-written note on a scrap of paper that reads, quite remarkably, "Walk with a Leaf."
