Isamu Noguchi
Late 40s
with
"The Queen"
1931
I saw this exhibition
7 years ago in NYC at the Japan Society,
and somehow didn't buy the catalog.
Well, I bought it a few days ago
and it is great!
I love me some Noguchi,
(Man Crush!)
and not a lot of
the regular folks know that he was
heavily involved in ceramics
since the 1930s.
