Born in Romania  he worked in Paris for more than 50 years  but he became renowned worldwide. This new book  published to accompany an exhibition at Tate Modern  London  and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum  New York  shows why his work  in which figurative elements were refined into ever purer  near-abstract forms  was so important in the development of modern sculpture. This splendid book focuses on some 40 works that represent the essence of Brancusis art. Essays focus on the themes and series in his work and the use of carving  as opposed to modeling in clay  that set him apart from his contemporaries. A selection of Brancusis aphorisms  illustrated with photographs of the artists studio  complete this thorough and up-to-date assessment of one of the 20th centurys greatest artists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44622921367605,"sku":"ByrdShop_1854375458","price":334.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781854375452.jpg?v=1784651661","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/constantin-brancusi-the-essence-of-things-9781854375452","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
