Constantin Brancusi

Constantin Brancusi was a renowned Romanian sculptor born on February 19, 1876 in Hobitza, Romania. He showed a passion for art from a young age and studied at the School of Arts and Crafts in Craiova before moving to Bucharest to continue his studies at the National School of Fine Arts. In 1904, Brancusi went to Paris, where he joined the studio of sculptor Auguste Rodin. However, he quickly developed his unique style and moved away from Rodin’s influence. Brancusi’s sculptures focused on simplifying forms and seeking the essence of the subject. His works often included abstract and primitive elements and were characterized by clean lines and smooth surfaces. Some of his most famous sculptures include “The Kiss,” “Bird in Space,” and “Endless Column.” Brancusi’s innovative approach to sculpture greatly influenced the development of modern art, and his works can be found in prestigious museums and collections worldwide. Constantin Brancusi passed away on March 16, 1957 in Paris, leaving behind a remarkable artistic legacy.
