From Publishers Weekly
Masking overwhelming negative feelings with her flamboyant attire and assertive demeanor, the sculptor desperately sought recognition and independence. "As Lisle . . . charts Nevelson's trajectory from obscurity to celebrity, the reader is left with the impression of a sad, guarded woman for whom art was life," said PW.

From Library Journal
The subject of several biographies, coffee-table books, and a book-length interview ( Dawns and Dusks , Scribner, 1976), American sculptor Nevelson (1900-88) is here presented in a well-researched, in-depth biography that can be enjoyed by a general readership. With little interest in domesticity or motherhood, though she was the mother of a son, Nevelson served a long and struggling apprenticeship before she found her style and her success. Lisle, also author of a biography of Georgia O'Keeffe, writes candidly about the unconventional Nevelson, a flamboyant figure on the New York art scene. For large general collections and modern art history libraries. Photos not seen.
