Nancy Graves (1940 - 1995) was an American sculptor, painter, printmaker, and sometime-filmmaker known for her focus on natural phenomena like camels or maps of the moon. Graves was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Her interest in art, nature, and anthropology was fostered by her father, an accountant at a local museum. After graduating from Vassar College in English Literature, Graves attended Yale University, where she received her bachelor's and master's degrees. After her graduation in 1964, she received a Fulbright Scholarship and studied painting in Paris. Graves also created a distinctive body of aerial landscapes, mostly based on maps of the moon and similar sources. There is extensive literature on Graves's aerial works as part of a broader discussion of the aerial view and its importance in modern and contemporary art.
