“We are a landscape of all we have seen.”

Remembering Isamu Noguchi, born on this day in 1904. “Lunar Landscape”(1943-44) is drawn from the imagination of the artist after several months in a Japanese-American internment camp, isolated in the desert during WWII. Noguchi had a lifelong preference for stone as a medium (he had worked with Constantin Brancusi in Paris in the late 1920s), but he also worked with clay and paper and was well known as a designer of landscapes, stage sets, and furniture. This sculpture is a rare surviving example of the “Lunar” series, in which Noguchi used a new material, magnesite, to create abstract biomorphic forms.
