The piece presents the grandiose artist Louise Nevelson—as large in spirit as the works she created. At her side, friend and art dealer Martha Jackson—a pragmatic realist that counters Nevelson's feisty relentlessness. In 10 minutes, Shineman not only teaches us a great deal about Nevelson's art, but also about the important professional (and perhaps spiritual) relationship between the two women. At times confrontational and fiery and at other times poetic and reflective, Shineman takes us on an entertaining and enlightening journey.
