For more than a year producer Bruce Bassett followed Isamu Noguchi around the world filming his global ventures. According to Noguchi, he was two when his Caucasian-American mother took him from California to Japan. Although she soon separated from his Japanese poet father, she kept Isamu in Japan for a decade before sending him back to America for his high school years. In this fusion between East and West, Noguchi worked out the universality of his creative efforts.

Louise Nevelson was in her seventies before art critics recognized her contribution to sculpture in America. Since for years she had little money for materials, Nevelson improvised with “trash” found in the streets of New York to construct her special environmental art. Looking like a high priestess from another world, Louise Nevelson creates two new sculptures on camera, providing a rare opportunity for viewers to share in the unfolding of her unique sculptural process.
Directors: Susan Fanshel and Jill Godmilow
