(b Kiev, 23 Sept 1899; d New York, 17 April 1988). American sculptor, draughtswoman and printmaker of Ukrainian birth. She grew up in Rockland, ME, having moved there with her family three years after her father had settled in the city, where he operated a lumberyard. Shortly after her marriage to Charles Nevelson in 1920, she moved with her husband to New York and began to educate herself as an actress, pianist, dancer, singer and painter while preparing for a career as a sculptor. Among her surviving early works are pen-and-ink drawings representing the human figure in a fluid outline, such as Untitled (1930; New York, Whitney). From 1928 to 1930 she studied at the Art Students League in New York under Kenneth Hayes Miller and Kimon Nicolaides, and after separating from her husband she travelled in 1931 to Munich to study briefly at the Hofmann Schule für Moderne Kunst run by Hans Hofmann until he was forced by the political situation to emigrate to the USA. Nevelson remained in Europe, working as an extra in films in Berlin and Vienna, before returning to her studies with Hofmann at the Art Students League, where he had re-established himself as a teacher in 1932. Through Hofmann she became aware of Cubism and techniques of collage, which affected her development as an artist. Cubism and Surrealism, along with African, American Indian and Pre-Columbian art, were paramount influences on the works she exhibited in group shows in the 1930s, such as Self-portrait (1938; ex-artist’s col., see Glimcher, p. 55).  (hide)
