Listening to stone : the art and life of Isamu Noguchi / Hayden Herrera
Livre
Edité par Thames & Hudson Ltd - 2015
Throughout the 20th century, Isamu Noguchi was a vital figure in modern art. From interlocking wooden sculptures to massive steel monuments to the elegant Akari lamps, Noguchi became a master of what he called the sculpturing of space. Combining the personal correspondence of and interviews with Noguchi and those closest to him from artists, patrons, assistants and lovers Herrera has created an authoritative biography of one of the twentieth centurys most important sculptors. She locates Noguchi in his friendships with such artists as Buckminster Fuller and Arshile Gorky, and in his affairs with women including Frida Kahlo and Anna Matta Clark. With the attention to detail and scholarship that made her biography of Gorky a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Herrera has written a rich meditation on art in a globalized milieu. Listening to Stone is a moving portrait of an artist compulsively driven to reinvent himself as he searched for his own essence of sculpture
