Author Anne Bustard on her fave picture book biographies and a few collected biographies, too, birthday by birthday.
1. November 17 Birthday: Isamu Noguchi


Isamu Noguchi, artist
Nov. 17, 1904-Dec. 30, 1988


Lives of the Artists: Masterpieces, Messes (and What the Neighbors Thought) by Kathleen Krull, illustrated by Kathryn Hewitt (Harcourt, 1995)

Although Noguchi was discouraged from pursuing art, thank goodness he persisted. Now, works of this important sculptor can be found in Detroit and Atlanta, to name just a few places.

The Noguchi Museum has exhibitions and collections that feature Noguchi's life and work. Visit online today.

See also the Aaron Copland (November 13) and Martha Graham (May 11) collaboration of Ballet for Martha: Making Appalacian Spring.
