Isamu Noguchi (1904 – 1988) was a Japanese-American Artist and landscape architect whose artistic career spanned six decades.
He was known for his sculpture and public works, and he also designed stage sets and several mass-produced lamps and furniture pieces, of which some are still manufactured and sold today.
From 1923 to 1926 he studied at Columbia University and the Leonardo da Vinci Art School, after which time he received the Guggenheim Fellowship. In 1929 Noguchi returned to New York.
