Peking is Like Paris: Isamu Noguchi and his Encounter with Beijing's International Milieu in 1930 Details
Isamu Noguchi spent six months in Beijing from June 1930 to January 1931. While Noguchi’s time with and relationship to the artist Qi Baishi has been relatively well documented, the wider cultural and artistic international milieu in which he mixed while resident in Beijing has not. This paper seeks to survey the other individuals whom Noguchi encountered while in the city and the effect of its hybridised atmosphere on his artistic development. I will argue that Beijing’s cross-cultural fertilisation between native and foreign artists, Chinese political activists, Orientalists, collectors, members of the international avant garde and assorted sojourners from Europe, America, and Japan, were highly influential on his modernist outlook and subsequent work.
