Isamu Noguchi (野口 勇 Noguchi Isamu?, November 17, 1904 – December 30, 1988) was an American artist and landscape architect whose artistic career spanned six decades, from the 1920s onward.[1] Known for his sculpture and public works, Noguchi also designed stage sets for various Martha Graham productions, and several mass-produced lamps and furniture pieces, some of which are still manufactured and sold.

We can assume that he was a visionary of sorts, and I must assume that his "To be viewed from Mars, 1947" work is intended to display a created Earth feature as seen from Mars. Visionaries gain their ideas and concepts from multiple channels, some sought, and some, as Edison said, "...are in the air." That is not to say that there is any real value to his art other than he may have picked up "in the air" the controversy several decades later without there being a real substance to it.

Sure, and I get that, but what are the chances really? He even has it lit from almost the same angle as the face on mars pic is lit from as seen by the shadows...just really interesting.

Well, there almost always has been the myth of the "Man (face) in the Moon." That leads to conjecture....

Sorry if I got a bit carried away, Vasa. I just find it really interesting that this goes all the way back to 1947. I knew about the ones I posted, but not this one. Quite the curiosity. Collective unconscious? Discovered a long time before being announced? Or coincidence? Guess everyone has to decide for themselves.

Is this for real?
Im gonna get back to this thread and research the hell out of this!
Are we sure it was really from 1947?
