Here's some work (above and below) by one of my favorite American artists of the 1950s: Isamu Noguchi. He's a recent discovery for me. I never heard the name til Auralyn told me about him.
He's most famous for the boomerang coffee table (above). Are these still for sale? Imagine: a museum-quality
object d'art that you can afford to have in your own living room!
These shapes (above) are drawn on a grid on paper, but it's not inconceivable that somebody's made a mass market cardboard mobile of this. I'll have to look it up.
Wow! I'd love to have a plaster copy of this (above)! That's Noguchi in the foreground.
Here's one that looks like it was influenced by Kandinsky.
Noguchi designed a lot of paper lanterns. Here's one that looks like a TV.
Early on the man was a realistic sculptor. Geez, the guy could do everything!
