书籍简介

Award-winning illustrator Emily Hughes offers a luminous picture book about the life of renowned Japanese American artist Isamu Noguchi.

Isamu Noguchi is one of the most important sculptors of all time. His Akari lamps changed the way modern buildings light their space. But before he was important, he was a kid. This is his story.

Noguchi was a Japanese American artist who gave the world light. The world, however, was not always so giving in return. Growing up mixed-race, born in the United States but raised in Japan, Noguchi found himself perceived as an outsider who did not belong in either country. Unable to identify fully as either Japanese or American, he conceived of himself as a snail, capable of retreating into his creative shell when the world did not embrace him. Through his art, the Snail could shape, hold, and create light-to conquer the darkness without.

Poetic and searing, heart-wrenching and exquisite, Emily Hughes's paean to creativity explores emotions ravaged by a history of Japanese incarceration, the effects of personal isolation, and the power of art to heal those wounds.

RENOWNED ARTIST: Isamu Noguchi's art is everywhere. You have likely seen it without knowing he was the artist-or even that it was art!

IMPORTANT TOPIC: This book uses art and history to discuss mixed racial identity, making a difficult topic more accessible to young readers.

STUNNING VISUALS: Hughes's illustrations are rich and evocative of the grace, power, and ephemerality of nature. Light and dark, complex yet simple, her art and storytelling echo the dual identity of Noguchi himself.

PERFECT GIFT FOR ART LOVERS: The subject and the beautiful visuals make this book the ideal gift for art students, art enthusiasts, and museumgoers of all ages.

屡获殊荣的插画家艾米丽·休斯 (Emily Hughes) 提供了一本关于著名日裔美国艺术家野口勇 (Isamu Noguchi) 生平的精彩图画书。

野口勇是有史以来至重要的雕塑家之一。他的 Akari 灯改变了现代建筑照亮空间的方式。但在他变得重要之前，他还是个孩子。这是他的故事。

野口是一位给世界带来光明的日裔美国艺术家。然而，世界并不总是如此给予回报。野口勇是混血儿，出生在美国但在日本长大，他发现自己无论在哪里都被视为局外人。由于无法完全确定自己是日本人还是美国人，他把自己想象成一只蜗牛，当世界不拥抱他时，他能够退回到他创造性的外壳中。通过他的艺术，蜗牛可以塑造、保持和创造光来征服外面的黑暗。

艾米莉·休斯 (Emily Hughes) 对创造力的赞歌诗意而灼热，令人心痛而精致，探讨了日本监禁历史所蹂躏的情感、个人孤立的影响以及艺术治愈这些伤口的力量。

知名艺术家：野口勇的艺术无处不在。您可能在不知道他是艺术家的情况下看到了它，甚至不知道它是艺术！

重要主题：这本书使用艺术和历史来讨论混合种族身份，使年轻读者更容易理解一个困难的话题。

令人惊叹的视觉效果：休斯的插图丰富多彩，令人回想起大自然的优雅、力量和短暂性。光明与黑暗，复杂而简单，她的艺术和讲故事呼应了野口本人的双重身份。

艺术爱好者的礼物：主题和美丽的视觉效果使这本书成为艺术学生、艺术爱好者和所有年龄段的博物馆参观者的理想礼物。
