Constantin Brancusi

Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957), a Romanian-born sculptor, is hailed as a pioneer of modernist art. His work revolutionised the art of sculpture by introducing simplified forms, abstraction, and new materials. Famed for iconic pieces like Bird in Space and The Endless Column, Brancusi's influence permeates the fabric of 20th-century art. His Paris studio, an artistic haven where his creations came to life, echoed his belief in the profound relationship between art and space.
