Night Presence II 1976 — Fine Art

Night Presence II 1976 uses painted wood boxes stacked into a single black wall of shapes. Louise Nevelson painted found pieces in deep black and arranged them in layers. The black surface holds the shadows of many small parts.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The white frame gives the picture a clean line on the wall. That white edge keeps the black mass from spreading into the room. You see the edges of the wood shapes against the frame.

In a hallway with a narrow light, the black forms read as one shape. From the landing you notice the layers of boxes and the steady black tone.
