Brancusi Kiss - 9.25" / 386AS - Aged Stone
$65.00 One of the most influential sculptors of the twentieth century, Constantin Brancusi was active mainly in Paris, France 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 Kiss was only the second sculpture that Brancusi carved directly. Previously, he modeled his forms in clay; as he would have done as a student at the Bucharest School of Fine Arts and the Ecoles des Beaux Arts in Paris. Brancusi even briefly assisted the esteemed French sculptor, Auguste Rodin. Constantin Brancusi (b. Romania, 1876-1957)from the The Philadelphia Museum of Art. |
