Who is an artist? I say we take a title. No one gives it to us. We make our lives.
Louise Berliawsky NevelsonI've been so lonely for long periods of my life that if a rat walked in I would have welcomed it.
Louise Berliawsky NevelsonWhen you put things together, things that other people have thrown out, youโre really bringing them to life โ a spiritual life that surpasses the life for which they were originally created.
Louise Berliawsky NevelsonAnother thing about creation is that every day it is like it gave birth, and it's always kind of an innocent and refreshing. So it's always virginal to me, and it's always a surprise. ... Each piece seems to have a life of its own. Every little piece or every big piece that I make becomes a very living thing to me, very living. I could make a million pieces; the next piece gives me a whole new thing. It is a new center. Life is total at that particular time. And that's why it's right. That reaffirms my life.
