Title: Isamu Noguchi: A Sculpture for Sculpture: The Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden
Description: Houston, Texas, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, 2006. Hardcover. Color-photo illustrated DJ with grey lettering; beige stamp-illustrated cloth over boards with dark grey lettering; 168 pp.; richly illustrated. A tranquil oasis of art and nature, the Lillie and Hugh Roy Cullen Sculpture Garden showcases masterworks of 20th- and 21st-century sculpture by artists including Louise Bourgeois, Pietro Consagra, Henri Matisse, Joan Miró, Auguste Rodin, and David Smith. This garden was created by sculptor Isamu Noguchi. "I had a revelation of the earth outdoors as a new way of conceiving sculpture," Noguchi once wrote, and he described his gardens as "sculpture for sculpture." His plan for the Cullen Sculpture Garden was a modern approach to the traditional idea of a garden—framed by concrete walls ranging in height, the works of sculpture are complemented by native trees, bamboo, and flowering crepe myrtle. -- Publisher's Website.
