Constantin 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)

The life of the law student Michel Tcherevkoff took a different path after a holiday visit to his sister, a model in New York City.
“There was no comparison between my perceptions of what life could be as an advertising photographer and what my life was as a law student.”
Michel calls his style “reality with a twist.” He says, “I photograph what I see rather than what is.”
After his second book, Shoe Fleur: A Footwear Fantasy published in 2007, Michel won 27 international awards for excellence in 2008.
