Más información sobre el libro

"Constantin Brancusi is one the greatest of all sculptors, and a key sculptor of the modern era, with Auguster Rodin and Pablo Picasso. Brancusi's influence can be seen in a wide range of Western sculptors, including Dongald Judd, Carl Andre, Henry Moore, Jean Arp, Barbara Hepworth, Minimalists and land artists. This new book studies the religious and mythical dimensions of Brancusi's distinctive 'eggs', 'fishes', 'heads' and 'columns'. His central quest was for the 'essence of things', which resulted in purifying a form until the essence was left."--Page 4 of cover
