What, in your view, contributed to theoutcome of “diversity”, if you will, in her work? How, specifically orbroadly, did Japanese culture, customs and/or history influence theoutcome of their designs (in sculpture, painting, furniture, and/orarchitecture)? (By the way, I absolutely love Isamu Noguchi’s work)3) What was your personal overall impression of this/these particulartype(s) of 3-dimensional artworks, whether it is sculpture and/orarchitectural structures? Please try to identify at least one (or more)sculptures, designs/furniture. Arts & Humanities Writing ART 1 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
