Brancusi Art
30 07 2009Constantin Brancusi (February 19, 1876 – March 16, 1957), was a Romanian sculptor, born in Hobita, Gorj, near Targu Jiu, where he placed his sculptural ensemble with The Table of Silence, The Gate of the Kiss and The Endless Column.
As an art student he was influenced by Auguste Rodin, but his style moved beyond naturalist representation to stylized elegant forms. Brancusi was one of the first sculptors to experiment with abstract art (although never, in his own view, moving into pure abstraction). His sculptures became progressively smoother and less figurative, until only the barest outline of the original subject was left. Eric Shanes wrote a complex book about Brancusi’s life and work: Constantin Brancusi (Modern Masters Series)
