Louise Nevelson, "Sky Cathedral," 1957. Painted wood, 57 x 149 x 16 inches. San José Museum of Art. Gift of Beverly and Peter Lipman, 2010.16. Photo by Douglas SandbergIn the 1950s, Louise Nevelson pushed unorthodox use of material and form to include light and shadow in the creation of large-scale sculptural environments in “a search for continuity between beings, things, and spaces.” At that time, the artist also developed a flamboyant and grandiose persona—jet-black eyelash extensions, colorful coats, and bold jewelry—that reflected the enigma and complexity of her sculptures.

Living Echo of the Cossack Elite: Georgiy Narbut in Paraska Apostol’s Kontusz with Kelep and Colonel MiloradovychIn the photograph, Georgiy Narbut stands in the Cossack hall of the Tarnovsky Museum (now a room of the Chernihiv Regional Library for Youth), fully immersed in a historical Ukrainian image. He is dressed in the kontusz of Paraska Apostol, daughter of Hetman Danylo Apostol, holding a kelep in his right hand, while to his right stands Colonel Mykhailo “Cannon” Miloradovych. This staged yet documentary scene shows Narbut not just studying Cossack-era artifacts, but literally wearing them, turning himself into a living embodiment of the Ukrainian noble-Cossack past.
