Eva Hesse (1936-1970) was a German-born American sculptor who began sculpting using the materials she found at a textile factory where she worked, to create sculptures and installations. She became well known for her use of latex, fiberglass, and plastics.
These remind me of skins, hanging, each one different in size,
each one beautiful in its own special way.

Kenzo Okada (1902-1982) was a Japanese painter who expressed the aura of landscape through his use of earth colors and abstract patterns that hint at familiar scenes in nature.

Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988) was a Japanese American sculptor who explored his identity through his artistic process. It was only in Japan that he created ceramic works. Perhaps working with the
Japanese earth helped him feel more of a
connection to that part of his heritage.
