Constantin Brancusi, 1876-1957

In twentieth-century sculpture the name of Romanian-born Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) towers above all others. This catalogue was published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition of Brancusis sculpture drawings and photo-graphs organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Centre Georges Pompidou Paris. Profusely illustrated throughout with photographs by the artist and images culled from a wide range of archival sources it is the most definitive work yet published on this inuential artist. The authors provide a detailed reassessment of Brancusis work incorporating and extending the profound revisions in scholarship that have been taking place since the last major retrospective in 1969-70.
