Description
Noda photographs his surroundings to record personal experiences at a specific time and place, creating a visual diary. Here, he emphasized the monotonous quality of this inhospitable urban scene, devoid of figures, by printing the image from a woodblock on a solid white background. The result is a generalized, rather than personal, evocation of memory that underscores the dehumanized nature of modern life.- Cleveland, Ohio: The Cleveland Museum of Art; December 12, 2004- April 10, 2005.
