The Hasegawa Reader is an open access companion to the bilingual
catalogue copublished with The Noguchi Museum to accompany an
international touring exhibition, Changing and Unchanging Things:
Noguchi and Hasegawa in Postwar Japan. The exhibition features the
work of two artists who were friends and contemporaries: Isamu
Noguchi and Saburo Hasegawa. This volume is intended to give
scholars and general readers access to a wealth of archival
material and writings by and about Saburo Hasegawa. While Noguchi's
reputation as a preeminent American sculptor of the twentieth
century only grows stronger, Saburo Hasegawa is less well known,
despite being considered the most literate artist in Japan during
his lifetime (1906-1957). Hasegawa is credited with introducing
abstraction in Japan in the mid 1930s, and he worked as an artist
in diverse media including oil and ink painting, photography, and
printmaking. He was also a theorist and widely published essayist,
curator, teacher, and multilingual conversationalist. This valuable
trove of Hasegawa material includes the entire manuscript for a
1957 Hasegawa memorial volume, with its beautiful essays by
philosopher Alan Watts, Oakland Museum Director Paul Mills, and
Japan Times art writer Elise Grilli, as well as various unpublished
writings by Hasegawa. The ebook edition will also include a dozen
essays by Hasegawa from the postwar period, and one prewar essay,
professionally translated for this publication to give a sense of
Hasegawa's voice. This resource will be an invaluable tool for
scholars and students interested in midcentury East Asian and
American art and tracing the emergence of contemporary issues of
hybridity, transnationalism, and notions of a "global Asia."
