Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi with his sculpture Kouros at the "Fourteen Americans" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York on September 25, 1946. Kouros was created between 1944 and 1945. The sculpture is carved from pink marble and stands over nine feet tall. Its name is derived from the ancient Greek word for "boy". The abstract, interlocking shapes in the sculpture are described as "biomorphic" because they resemble bones or other body parts.

Having resided in the same private collection for over fifty years, Isamu Noguchi’s The Comb displays the essence of the artist’s poetic and deeply spiritual sculptural practice. Carved from a single piece of solid black granite, Noguchi’s form creates a dynamic and dramatic silhouette against whichever backdrop it is placed. Executed in 1962, The Comb also contains elements of Noguchi’s preferred circular forms. “I love stone because it is the most flexible and meaning-impregnated material,” he once said. “The whole world is made of stone. It’s nothing new. It’s as old as the hills. It is our fundament… Stone has a quality of durability. It does not pollute. It merely goes back to earth naturally” (I. Noguchi, quoted by S. Hunter, Isamu Noguchi, New York, 1978, p. 121). Throughout his career Noguchi worked in a number of different materials including wood, slate and marble, and during the late 1960s granite became one of his favorite mediums. After spending time working with Constantin Brâncuşi in Paris in the 1920s, he turned to modernism and abstraction, infusing his highly finished forms with a palpable sense of mystery. As an artist he sought out materials that he felt matched the character of the places with which he felt an affinity. He felt granite evoked nature, the earth, and a sense of longevity. “I have since thought of,” he once said, “…my close embrace of the earth as a seeking after identity with some primal matter beyond personalities and possessions….I wanted something irreducible, an absence of the gimmicky and clever” (I. Noguchi, op. cit., p.257).

a minimalist digital portrait of Isamu Noguchi, face emerging from carved stone textures and smooth negative space, background blending abstract granite curves with gentle garden contours, eyes cast downward in quiet reflection, skin modeled in tones of weathered clay and basalt, clothing reduced to flowing monochrome shapes suggesting fabric and rock, ambient lighting with subtle cool gradients and soft tactile shadows, composition anchored by balance and quiet tension
Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was a Japanese-American sculptor and designer whose work blurred the boundaries between art, architecture, and landscape. Known for his organic forms and minimalist aesthetic, Noguchi created everything from abstract stone sculptures to public parks and iconic furniture. He believed sculpture should shape space as much as material, and his work reflected a deep synthesis of Eastern and Western traditions.

Text: A museum is, I suppose, a repository against time... there is a semblance of eternity, a sense of permanence that is implied by a museum, and a removal from time's passage. Isamu Noguchi, The Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum (New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1987), 55.
A pitch perfect quote by #isamunoguchi about #museums. It articulates why I love museums better than anything else I’ve heard or read.
I actually think you can say something similar about #reading.

This black-and-white Holga photograph depicts the 1968 "Red Cube," a public sculpture by Isamu Noguchi located at 140 Broadway in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City. The sculpture is interpreted as a symbol of chance, reminiscent of a rolling die, reflecting its proximity to Wall Street. In the image, a man walks in front of the cube at the precise moment when his body aligns with the opening in the sculpture.

A large red cube balances on one corner in front of a black office building with many dark windows. The contrast of the bright red against the flat black sameness of the building is stunning. In the middle of the side of the cube facing the camera is a perfectly circular hole. The inside is unpainted metal. The lines of the cube being diagonal and the circle also contrast with the strictly horizontal and vertical lines of the building. At the far left toward the bottom of the photo is a person walking into the frame, providing perspective of the size of the sculpture which is about four times as tall as the person.
