Louise Nevelson was born on September 23, 1899, in Kiev, Russia. Since Louise’s father was a contractor, he moved to the United States in 1902 in order to get work. Her family missed him so much that they saved the money he sent to them, and they came to America in 1904. When they reached America, they settled in Rockland, Maine. While Louise was growing up, she always knew she wanted to be an artist. |
