Isamu Noguchi
Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) is widely considered among the most important sculptors and designers of his day. His definition of sculpture was a broad one, and he therefore not only created sculptures, but also designed stage sets, luminaries, furniture and public spaces; effectively bridging the gap between fine and applied arts. This publication features an article on Noguchi's interiors and furniture, explores his relationship with Brancusi and the New York art world. The artist's landscape designs and Japanese and American influences are also examined. As well as a personal retrospective by Shoji Sadao, who worked wth Moguchi for many years, there is an homage by his close friend R. Buckminster Fuller and also an unpublished article by the artist himself.
