DESCRIPTION:From <a href="http://noguchi.org/programs/exhibitions/isamu-nog
 uchi-and-qi-baishi-beijing-1930">noguchi.org</a> :\n\nWhile en route to Ja
 pan for his first time since childhood\, Isamu  Noguchi paid an unexpected
  visit to Beijing (then called Peking) from  July 1930 to January 1931. A 
 fateful encounter with a Japanese  businessman and art collector\, Sotokic
 hi Katsuizumi (1889-1985)\, exposed  the young artist to Katsuizumi's smal
 l collection of scrolls by the  poet\, seal carver\, and traditional ink p
 ainting master Qi Biashi  (1864-1957). Noguchi was entranced by what he sa
 w\, and asked to be  introduced to Qi Baishi whom he observed and studied 
 with.&nbsp\;\n\nOrganized by the University of Michigan Museum of Art in a
  collaboration between The Noguchi Museum\, <em>Isamu Noguchi and Qi Baish
 : Beijing 1930</em> explores this pivotal but lesser-documented moment of 
 Noguchi's career\,  which resulted in some 100 ink scroll paintings. This 
 exhibition marks  the first pairing of Noguchi's scrolls with those by Qi 
 Baishi\, which  have been selected from the same period\, alongside the se
 al that Qi made  for his young pupil. Prior to meeting Qi Baishi\, Noguchi
 's sculptural  work effectively jumped between figuration and abstraction.
  This  exhibition suggests the lasting significance of his study of tradit
 ional  ink brush technique with Qi Baishi was less a point of departure th
 an a  stimulus for his reconciliation of the two in his later outlook on  
 sculpture.\n\nImage: Isamu Noguchi\, <em>Peking Drawing (Man sitting)</em>
