Black and white

Have you seen the new stamps from the post office which are a tribute to the late sculptor Isamu Noguchi? They are so cool! It's a sheet of twenty stamps featuring photographs of his sculptures and a side panel with a photo of Noguchi and one of his quotes, all printed in stark black and white.

Most modern art—especially performance art, multimedia, "installations," and a lot of paintings—is total trash, but I like modern sculptural forms. The stylized metamorphosization and the sleek surfaces and forms actually seem to mean something to me. I don't know what it is. Perhaps it's the fact that one has to study the work to "see" it, and after looking at something, if one then hears the title of the work, one can go "ohhhhhhhh," and reach a deeper appreciation of the work.
