This art piece is done by Louise nevelson, and is called Mrirror- Shadow VIII and it is made entirely out of painted wood. Louise is an American artist born in 1899 and sadly passed away in 1988. She lived in New York and started attending art classes in the early 1930's at the art students league of New York, and in 1941 she had her first solo art exhibition. She did a little painting and printing before dedicating her life work to sculpture. Most of her sculpture work was made out of wood and often stood on walls, her artwork appeared puzzle - like to many people. Louise's work was complicated, yet simple, precarious but somehow balanced. Louise's works, like those of the cubist painters who inspired her, push recognizable forms toward abstraction. She collected scrap wood, old pieces from furniture, or even wooden wheels from carriages, and then stacked, assembled, bolted them into carefully framed compositions. Most of the time she painted them entirely in black. Unlike most artists, Louise reduced her palette to add content. For Louise, black had a mystical sense of wholeness: it "is the total color. It means totality. It means: contains all."
