– I give you pure joy, do not search vague formulas – he preached, and this “happy” publishing will last until 1 July at the Paris Pompidou Centre, where the exhibition takes place Brâncuşi.
Three fewer metres of cocks with their bows torn upside down open this awesome retrospective from Romania by Constantin Brâncuşi organized under the patronage of French president Emmanuel Macron. It includes 120 sculptures accompanied by photographs, drawings, paintings, films, archives – a full of more than 400 exhibits.
A legendary studio of the artist located on Montparnass on Ronsin 11 Street (written in the will to the French state) in which he lived, created, presented his works and in which he made everything himself: a stone fireplace, wooden seats, plaster tables changing if essential in statue posts. Brâncuşi, at the age of 28, as a pilgrim traveled into little than a year of Europe to settle in Paris – precisely 120 years ago. He was a dishwasher at a restaurant, church, church singer. Noticed by August Rodin, he became his assistant – briefly due to the fact that he went his own way, which led him into the very epicentre of modernity.
