Changing and Unchanging Things: Noguchi and Hasegawa in Postwar Japan
Published to coincide with the major traveling exhibition, Changing and Unchanging Things is a lavishly illustrated account of how Isamu Noguchi and Saburo Hasegawa’s joint exploration of traditional Japanese culture influenced their contemporary and subsequent work. The masterpieces in the exhibition—by turns elegiac, assured, ambivalent, anguished, euphoric, and resigned—are organized into the major overlapping subjects of their attention: the landscapes of Japan, the abstracted human figure, the fragmentation of matter in the atomic age, and Japan’s traditional art forms. Texts in English and Japanese.
