Isamu noguchi wife

The late artist Isamu Noguchi saw himself as a man without a country. With a Japanese father and an American mother, Noguchi was born in Los Angeles in and raised in both nations, but he never fit completely into the culture of either place.

Until his death in , he remained a restless world traveler, obsessive creator, meticulous craftsman and renowned womanizer, who once got chased from Frida Kahlo's bed at gunpoint by her enraged husband, Mexican muralist Diego Rivera (no slouch himself when it came to seduction).

Noguchi took risks as an artist, too.

Known primarily as a stone sculptor, he also applied his skills to landscape and furniture design, functional ceramics, dance sets and photography.

The particular blend of classical Japanese aesthetics and Modernism that characterizes Noguchi's art has always struck a chord here in the Northwest, perhaps because of our long-standing affinity with Asian art and design.
