The work of Constantin Brâncuşi redefined sculpture for a new century. Working in Paris after 1904, Brâncuşi aimed to develop a sculptural idiom that looked absolutely modern. Seeking inspiration in ancient, folk, and exotic precedents, which bypassed the classical Western tradition of sculpture, and brought his style to a more essential and simplified form. The Philadelphia Museum of Art has the largest collection of Brâncuşi sculptures in the U.S. and this tour explores his work within the context of his modernist contemporaries.
