La Bibliothèque de l'Amateur 04 : Isamu Noguchi
Sculptor, designer, set designer, architect, landscape architect… Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was a versatile artist who intimately intertwined his art with his life. Between the United States and Japan—his two homelands—between abstraction and figuration, between tradition and modernity, he created tirelessly without ever being constrained by boundaries.
A leading figure on the postwar international art scene, he is also known for his Akari lamps, a luminous reinvention of the Japanese lantern. And while his sculptures are now part of the collections of the world’s greatest museums, they also occupy public spaces in cities, where they become places for play, meditation, or contemplation—and, for the most people, simply a part of daily life.
