9th artist Isamu Noguchi



Isamu Noguchi was a prominent Japanese American artist and landscape architect whose artistic career spanned six decades, from the 1920s onward. Known for his sculpture and public works, Noguchi also designed stage sets for various Martha Graham productions, and several mass-produced lamps and furniture pieces, some of which are still manufactured and sold. There is a place called Isamu Noguchi Garden Museum and this is where he would decorate with all of his art that has been created by him. It is really interesting to find out that he has a museum that is decorated by his work. He is best known for his abstract sculptures designed as adjuncts to architecture. An example of his environmental work is his massive red cube designed for the marine midland bank building, New York City. As a landscape architect, noguchi created a large number of playgrounds, parks and gardens. In the 1950s, he designed gardens for Keio University.
