Isamu Noguchi and Qi Baishi: Beijing 1930

Today I saw the Isamu Noguchi and Qi Baishi show at the Frye. The line and brush drawings are amazing, especially the ones that combine a large brush gesture with a fine contour drawing. Reminds me a lot of the Matisse drawings at Chapelle du Rosaire de Vence. Well worth seeing. Runs until May 25.
