Isamu Noguchi

Isamu Noguchi is revered as a universal talent with a creative oeuvre that went beyond sculpture to encompass stage sets, furniture, lighting and interiors, as well as outdoor plazas and gardens. His sculptural style is indebted to a vocabulary of organic forms and exerted a sustained influence on 1950s design.

'My Father, Yone Noguchi is Japanese and has long been known as an interpreter of the East and West, through poetry. I wish to do the same thing through sculpture.'
-Isamu Noguchi wrote this in his proposal for a Guggenheim Fellowship.
