Note du spécialiste

"To search the final reality of stone beyond the accident of time... I seek the love of matter. The materiality of stone, its essence, to reveal its identity—not what might be imposed but something closer to its being. Beneath the skin is the brilliance of matter."
– Isamu Noguchi
