Constantin Brancusi (b. Roumania, 1876-1975) was active mainly inParis throughout his life. He preferred the technique of direct carving in stone -- a process newly popular among French sculptors in the early 1900s -- and was capable of reducing natural forms to near abstract simplicity. His work in both stone and bronze concentrated on variations of a small number of themes -- heads, birds, and his renowned couple embracing The Kiss. The original is Limestone, 23" x 13-3/4" x 10-3/4" The Louise and Walter Arensberg Collection -- Philadelphia Museum of Art -- All Rights Reserved |
