Free Admission to the Asian Art Museum October 11 and 12

[KQED Members Day]( [Asian Art Museum]( [KQED Member Days: Free Admission to the Asian Art Museum](#) Join KQED at the Asian Art Museum for KQED Member Days. Discover how two artists seeking a new direction for modern art in the aftermath of World War II found inspiration in Japanese tradition. Trace the friendship, ideas and mutual influence of Isamu Noguchi and Saburo Hasegawa, who both sought to balance tradition and modernity, Japanese culture and foreign influences, past and present. Focusing on the decade following their consequential meeting in 1950, Changing and Unchanging Things: Noguchi and Hasegawa in Postwar Japan (on view through December 8) brings out the resonances between Noguchi’s sculptures and design work and Hasegawa’s explorations in painting, printmaking and photography. Admission is free to KQED Members plus one guest (total of two persons per KQED MemberCard or membership info from On KQED magazine with a valid ID) on Friday, October 11, and Saturday, October 12, 2019 from 10am to 5pm. Tickets are based on day-of availability only. Left: Calligraphics, 1957, by Isamu Noguchi (American, 1904–1988). Iron, wood, rope, and metal.
