Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Isamu Noguchi: Stones and Paper

Isamu Noguchi: Stones and Paper

This program is a timeless retrospective on the life and career of Isamu Noguchi, whose binational heritage sent him back and forth between Japan and America seeking a new artistic synthesis. He started his career in Paris as Constantin Brancusi’s apprentice. He made his name in New York. And, after World War II, he brought a fresh modernist wind to Japan, putting his mark on Japanese ceramics, gardens, and paper lanterns. His late masterworks—rough stone monoliths that echo both Brancusi and the Zen garden of Ryoanji—marry East and West in an absolutely original way. (56 minutes)
