Author: James Yang

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Awarded an Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature Picture Book Honor, this stunning picture book brings to life the imagination of Japanese American artist, Isamu Noguchi. (Cover image may vary.) If you are Isamu, stones are the most special of all. How can they be so heavy? Would they float if they had no weight? Winner of the Theordor Seuss Geisel Award in 2020 for Stop! Bot!, James Yang imagines a day in the boyhood of Japanese American artist, Isamu Noguchi. Wandering through an outdoor market, through the forest, and then by the ocean, Isamu sees things through the eyes of a young artist . . .but also in a way that many children will relate. Stones look like birds. And birds look like stones. Through colorful artwork and exquisite text, Yang translates the essence of Noguchi so that we can all begin to see as an artist sees.

Sorted Books
Author: Nina Katchadourian
Publisher: Chronicle Books
ISBN: 1452126860
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
A witty and thought-provoking collection of visual poems constructed from stacks of books. Delighting in the look and feel of books, conceptual artist Nina Katchadourian’s playful photographic series proves that books’ covers—or more specifically, their spines—can speak volumes. Over the past two decades, Katchadourian has perused libraries across the globe, selecting, stacking, and photographing groupings of two, three, four, or five books so that their titles can be read as sentences, creating whimsical narratives from the text found there. Thought-provoking, clever, and at times laugh-out-loud funny (one cluster of titles from the Akron Museum of Art’s research library consists of: Primitive Art /Just Imagine/Picasso/Raised by Wolves), Sorted Books is an enthralling collection of visual poems full of wry wit and bookish smarts. Praise for Sorted Books “Katchadourian’s project . . . takes on a weight beyond its initial novelty. It’s a love letter to books, book collecting and the act of reading.” —San Francisco Chronicle “As a longtime fan of [Katchadourian’s] long-running Sorted Books project I’m thrilled for the release of Sorted Books—a collection spanning nearly two decades of her witty and wise minimalist mediations on life by way of ingeniously arranged book spines. . . . In an era drowned in periodic death tolls for the future of the physical book, her project stands as a celebration of the spirit embedded in the magnificent materiality of the printed page.” —Brain Pickings “Katchadourian’s stacks possess an understated sophistication; they are true to the intimate nature of books and yet reveal their dramatic features and unexpected potential.” —Publishers Weekly

Isamu Noguchi
Author: Valerie J. Fletcher
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Drawing
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
"One of the most versatile artists of the modern era, Isamu Noguchi explored many areas of art and design. Both Isamu Noguchi: Master Sculptor and the exhibition of the same name, which this book accompanies, focus on his sculpture as the nexus of his creativity. From the late 1920s through the mid-1980s, Noguchi changed direction frequently and delighted in exploring diametrically opposed ideas and styles. In her essay, Valerie J. Fletcher examines Noguchi's use of many different materials and explores the reasons underlying his diverse practice. Situating his sculptures within their historical and art-historical contexts, Dr. Fletcher seeks to dispel the previous limited interpretation of Isamu Noguchi as a Japanese American artist, instead redefining him as one of the first truly global artists of the modern era. Noguchi worked in modes inspired by many cultural sources - he became familiar with utopian ideals while working in Paris, studied traditional calligraphic drawing in Beijing, and learned to model clay sculptures in Kyoto. During World War II, the rise of anti-Japanese sentiment precipitated a period of seclusion and introspection. He adopted some of the principles of Surrealism and created the remarkable Lunars, which have rarely been seen, followed by his delicate, interlocking compositions in slabs of slate and marble. After the war Noguchi again traveled around the world, finding inspiration in monuments of all kinds, ranging from Stonehenge in England to Hindu architecture in India. From the 1960s onward, Noguchi maintained studios in the United States and in Japan, while also working on garden environments and urban monuments in many cities. In his late sculptural works he achieved subtle and sophisticated syntheses of nature with artifice, the organic with the geometric, intuition with intellect. His sculptures express his passionate conviction that art can enrich ordinary lives and transcend national, religious, and ethnic barriers." --
