From Façade portfolio. - Literature: Baro 72; 75 - Two photographic collage screeprints on wove paper with screenprint on acetate overlay. - Each signed in pencil, dated and numbered. - Published/printed by Harry N. Abrams/Chiron Press, New York, Louise Nevelson’s Clown's Houses and Four in the Morning, from her 1966 Façade series, are photographic collage screenprints enhanced with acetate overlays. These monochromatic works reflect Nevelson’s sculptural aesthetic, translating her assemblages into layered two-dimensional compositions. Using overlapping photographic images of wooden reliefs and structural forms, Nevelson creates an abstract architectural language—evoking both physical and psychological spaces. The play of shadow and form, combined with the translucent acetate layer, adds depth and a sense of motion. These prints were produced in an edition of 125, with a smaller colored-paper version also issued.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
