21.2.1876 Born in Hobitza (RO)
Brancusi was born in a Rumanian village and attended the Fine Arts Academy in Bucharest. In 1904, he moved to Paris where in 1908; he met Matisse and Modigliani and soon became one of the central figures of the modern movement. By 1913, Brancusi had an international reputation, and his work had entered major art collections in United States.
From 1908, with the first version of The Kiss, Brancusi´s work became increasingly abstract. While never rejecting the natural world, he reduced the elements of an image to what he considered the bare essentials. Primarily a carver, Brancusi worked in plaster, marble and wood. He cast bronzes from the plasters and marbles and worked these surfaces to a very high polish. The works in wood were deliberately rough-hewn.
By the 1930´s, Brancusi had completed all his major themes and his last years were spent making bases for his sculptures, and working on a number of large installations, one in Romania and an unrealized temple in India.
