    Isamu Noguchi

    Visited the Noguchi museum last week. Isamu Noguchi was an american sculptor. His main medium was stone. There are beautiful stone sculptures at the museum in Queens, NY. Noguchi was born in 1904 in Los Angeles to Leonie Gilmour, an American writer and Japanese poet Yonejiro (Yone) Noguchi, who had returned to Tokyo earlier in the year.

    One of the many cool things about his sculptures, is that they all need to be touched. So touring the exhibit is a fight between that need and the professorial signs all over the gallery, asking one NOT to touch them. They’re made out of STONE for pete’s sake. Like it would take a brazilion (how many is that) people touching this for there NOT to be a dent in them.
