About exhibition:
Constantin Brâncuși (19 february 1876, Hobița, România – 16 March 1957, Paris, France)
The exhibition unveils the major themes and motifs that Brancusi would constantly explore for five decades. It sheds light on his distinctive creative process, including his choice of direct carving and his talent to bring out ‘the essence of things’. The sculptures, with their smooth and pure forms, reflect his desire to go beyond appearances, to achieve a new and universal language. Celebrating his inventive power and tireless quest for beauty, the exhibition highlights the major revolutions brought about by Brancusi’s art: the reinvention of portraiture, the new status given to pedestals, the play with light and movement, and seriality.

The exhibition also highlights the diversity of his creative output, featuring not only sculptures but also a rare painting, more than 20 photographs and films by the artist. It also includes a film projection about the history of his studio, located on Impasse Ronsin in Paris. This iconic place, designed by Brancusi as a work of art in its own right, fascinated many of his avant-gardist contemporaries. To immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the studio, visitors will also be able to listen to musical excerpts from the artist’s record collection.

Visitors followed a themed route organized around the artist’s major serial works he devoted his life to: the Essence of Things (Sleeping Muse, Head of a Sleeping Child, Sculpture for the blind), the Portraits (Eileen Lane, Mlle Pogany), the Animals (The Young Bird, The Cock, Seal), the relationship with Architecture (Endless Column, Caryatid), the Ambiguity between Feminine and Masculine (Princess X, Torso of a Young Man, Torso of a Young Girl), the play on Light and Movement (The Newborn II) and finally the series of The Kiss.
