Daily Art Shot (784 of ∞): Isamu Noguchi, “Lunar Landscape,” 1943-44.
A landscape sculpture drawn from the imagination of the artist after several months in a Japanese-American internment camp, isolated in the desert during WWII. Using landscape as a metaphor for an emotional or psychological state of mind was one of Surrealism’s most important contributions to modern art.
