Constantin Brancusi
Constantin Brâncuși (Romanian: [konstanˈtin brɨŋˈkuʃʲ] ; February 19, 1876 – March 16, 1957) was a Romanian sculptor, painter and photographer who made his career in France. Called the Patriarch of modern sculpture , Brâncuși revolutionized the art in the 20th century and is widely regarded as a pioneer of modernism. Born in rural Romania, he learned woodcarving as a child before studying at the Bucharest School of Fine Arts and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His mature work reduced figures, heads, animals and columns to concentrated forms shaped by material, surface, rhythm and balance. In Paris, Brâncuși developed a sculptural language through direct carving, bronze casting and repeated variations on a small group of subjects; his work also carried traces of Romanian woodcarving traditions and the wider experimental climate of early twentieth-century modernism.
