In his ... gardens ... Noguchi achieved subtle ... syntheses of nature with the man-made, fusing organic and geometric, balancing intuition with intellect. 'California Scenario' seamlessly integrates them. ... it is an enclosed space adjacent to an office building, 'California Scenario' appears open and spacious; the proportional relationship of the asymmetric pyramid to the smaller rocks and plants creates a sense of vastness and scale beyond the actual dimensions of the garden. Local desert stones unify this environment in color and texture. The channel of water running through the center contrasts with, and enhances, the viewer's awareness of the surrounding dryness. The pronounced individuality of elements of the Beinecke courtyard has here matured into a cohesive whole; sculpture and environment are one.

Designed by Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The outside is cold and hard stone, but the translucent marble panels give a golden glow to the inside. Absolutely incredible. Its biggest problem is that it's at Yale.

Isamu Noguchi's 'Red Cube' sculpture provides a stylish and stylised backdrop for my scaly buddy 'Komos'.
Komos created and performed by Joe Strike; fursuit designed and constructed by 'Artslave'.

This stack of rocks is about 10' high, and carefully fitted. It shrinks in relation to the buildings.

By Isamu Noguchi, in the Japan galleries at the Met. The water flows over the entire top plane of the fountain and down the sides.
The garden in enclosed by walls, like many gardens in Japan.

1932, Aluminum, 113.9 x 88.6 x 15.2 cm (40 7/8 x 34 7/8 x 9 in)
Born in the United States, Isamu Noguchi lived in Japan until he was 13 year old and was deeply affected by Japanese art and culture. In 1930 the artist returned to Japan to study its sculptural traditions and ceramics. Miss Expanding Universe was the first sculpture Noguchi made upon his return to the United States in 1932. In this work, he combined machine-age streamlining with characteristics of ancient Japanese funerary sculpture (haniwa). Later the same year, Noguchi transformed this flowing form into a sacklike costume for the pioneering dancer and choreographer Ruth Page and her ballet Expanding Universe.
Having done some work on the Quickbeam I rambled across Capitol Hill to Volunteer Park. A classic spring day that was beautiful and warm for most of the time I was out, by the time I got home it was cloudy and I felt a few drops of rain. Read about the work on the Quickbeam and the ride over on the blog.
