SUMMARY:Isamu Noguchi and the Stone Sculpture of Early India
DESCRIPTION:Isamu Noguchi wrote in 1949 that the site of Mahabalipuram was 
 his “first and most authentic lesson.” Between then and his death in 1
 988\, Noguchi visited India at least eleven times. Yet there has been litt
 le investigation into the nature of this long and deep connection\, and th
 e impact it had on the sculptor’s artistic philosophy and practice.\n\nT
 his talk by Kalyani Madhura Ramachandran sheds light on the sculptor’s e
 nduring interest in the art of early India\, including Sanchi\, Elephanta\
 , and Mahabalipuram\, among numerous other ancient sites\, and traces the 
 centrality of the “matter of sculpture” in his approach. In looking at
  and alongside Noguchi\, this talk expands our current understanding of th
 e sculptor’s work and calls for material approaches to the study of scul
 pture from early India.\n\nThis programme at MAP is part of A Closer Look\
 , a monthly series of research-focused talks by artists\, curators and art
  historians focusing on visual cultures of South Asia.
