Brancusi is, with Rodin, the greatest sculptor of the 20th century. Of Romanian origin, born at the foot of the Carpathians in 1876, came to Paris in 1904, he met Modigliani there and became friends with Marcel Duchamp. A few years later, he settled in the picturesque and dilapidated town of Impasse Ronsin, which he would not leave until his death in 1957. There he created a work of art in wood, marble and stone. whose refined forms, starting from nature, often result in abstraction. Heads, women or muses, birds and animals, ovoids with caressing contours, large refined slender shapes make up the essentials. America revealed it at the famous Armory Show of 1913. France, where it first caused a scandal, then sanctioned it and soon Romania celebrated it by commissioning the monumental ensemble of Tirgu-Jiu where the legendary "Column" stands endless" thirty meters high. A solitary patriarch, he constantly polished, refined, repeated, moved and photographed sculptures and pedestals that he bequeathed to the French state. Its workshops have been completely rebuilt in front of the Center Georges Pompidou. Our numerous photos allow you to appreciate the quality of the work. For the condition, please detail the photos.
