CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI

Constantin Brancusi  (1876-1957) was a Romanian sculptor with overwhelming contributions to the renewal of plastic language and vision in the contemporary sculpting. He was elected posthumously member of the Romanian Academy. In 1902 he graduated from Bucharest "Bellarte School" and in 1905 he was accepted into the "Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts". His early works were exhibited in 1906. Since 1963 over 50 000 books and monographs and thousands of studies and articles about Brancusi were published all over the world, definitively establishing him as a brilliant artist. In 1973 the famous sculptor H. Moore wrote: "Brancusi was the one who gave our time consciousness pure form". Also Jean Cassou noticed that Brancusi was "one of the greatest artists of all time."
