Neith Nevelson
Neith Nevelson, (born 16 July 1946), is an American player best known for paintings of horses, female nudes, and male faces.
Nevelson's grandmother was the sculptor Louise Nevelson, her father, Mike Nevelson (1922-2019), was a sculptor and her mother, Susan Nevelson (1924-2015), was an performer and textile designer.
Nevelson grew happening in Florence, Italy, and began painting at the age of two. She spent her childhood in Florence and New York City, and as a juvenile moved to New York, to flesh and blood at her grandmother's studio.
She has lived in Coconut Grove in southern Florida, since 1977.
Nevelson studied briefly at the Accademia di Belle Arti, in Florence, Italy. As a student she concentrated on subjects she eventually became known for rather than the welcome curriculum of yet life drawings and landscapes, and was eventually expelled. Her first exhibition was in 1974 at the Galleria Nuova in Florence. Her last was in 1994; the catalog and exhibition were entitled, "Neith Nevelson: In the Middle of the Night", by Wendy Blazier. She was influenced by Cubism, Surrealism, and Expressionism. Some art-critics have labeled Nevelson as “Outsider” artist.
Nevelson's to the fore work, which she has continued to experiment and embellish on to the present day, take the form of line drawings. Her style developed into highbrow paintings based upon the gestural formlessness of drawing, underscored by her larger art-works which tend to append elements of everything her three major themes. As described in "Neith Nevelson: In the Middle of the Night," Neith's paintings are visions from her imaginatio], and probe the figurative, symbolic and narrative. As described by the Miami Herald's lackluster review of the same 1994 exhibition, the form of her art reflects the conflicts and contradictions of her life, living in the world of her famous grandmother and the New York art world of the 1960s, hardship and disaffection from family, and remembering and pining for childhood.
She is the illustrator a forthcoming book of poems tentatively titled, "Day's Night" by Jorge Reyes.
Outside of her artistic endeavors, Nevelson is notable for political involvement in the Place of abortion advocacy, for which she was jailed in Florence Italy in 1977 along gone a activity of advocates from the Radical Party, a left wing protester group yet active in Europe.[citation needed]
