Isamo Noguchi 1950

Isamo Noguchi was born in Los Angeles California in 1904. He studied sculpture in Japan, New York and Paris and was greatly influenced by the Surrealists and other abstract artists such as Picasso, Calder and Joan Miró. His work integrated sculpture with nature and architecture, striving for a "oneness with stone."

Some examples of his work are: sculptural gardens for both the Chase Manhattan Bank and the John Hancock Building in New York and the fountain for the Ford Pavilion at the New York World's Fair of 1939. Noguchi died in New York in 1988.
