Explanation:

To determine the true statement about Louise Nevelson’s sculptures, we analyze each option:

• The first option is false: Nevelson’s work emphasizes the interplay of objects and shadows, so shadows are as important as objects.
• The second option is false: Her sculptures typically use a single color (often black or white), not complementary color schemes.
• The third option is false: Her sculptures incorporate a wide variety of found objects and forms, not a limited assortment.
• The fourth option is true: Nevelson’s sculptures often use a single color (e.g., black) and repeated box - like structures (from her assemblages of found objects) to create a sense of unity in her works.

Answer:

D. A single color and repeated box shapes create unity.
