In Takamatsu, I got to know Isamu Noguchi(2) π
πThe art museum prohibits photography, but the atmosphere and aura during the visit lingered in my mind for days... I couldn't resist searching for his stories and works, wanting to learn more about him π. πΊβ¨ On that day, I also encountered an elderly American couple. πThe uncle, filled with fantastical imaginations of the East, came to Japan. His excitement and curiosity expressed during our conversation were both amusing and touching π. πΊβ¨ It has to be said that Isamu Noguchi is a truly remarkable individual. He explored a wide range of artistic scales, from furniture to sculptures and large-scale installations, and had a deep understanding of various materials and textures. π He was an artist brimming with curiosity and energy. Thanks to the era he lived in and his unique background that blended Eastern and Western influences, he absorbed creative nourishment that is unimaginable in our time. πΊβ¨ His curiosity and confusion about life, his exploration of eternity from both Eastern and Western perspectives, and his inspiration from nature are all integrated into his simple yet endlessly fascinating sculptures #Takamatsu
