Letter from Isamu Noguchi to Ginger Rogers, July 14, 1942
While he was interned in Poston, Arizona, Isamu Noguchi wrote Ginger Rogers about the bust she had commissioned from him. She arranged for Noguchi to come to her house in mid-December 1941, to initiate the artwork. In her 1991 memoir, Ginger: My Story, she wrote, "We had all his materials and tools moved up to a specially prepared floor above the tennis court and the pool." He worked there for a month.
Rogers was preparing for her upcoming film role as Roxie Hart and was wearing "the pageboy bob hairstyle Louise Miehle had designed for me. . . . It was this hairstyle that Noguchi sculpted." |
