Constantin Brâncuși (February 19, 1876 – March 16, 1957) was a Romanian sculptor, painter and photographer who made his career in France. Considered a pioneer of modernism, one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th-century, Brâncuși is called the patriarch of modern sculpture. As a child he displayed an aptitude for carving wooden farm tools. Formal studies took him first to Bucharest, then to Munich, then to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1905 to 1907. His art emphasizes clean geometrical lines that balance forms inherent in his materials with the symbolic allusions of representational art. Brâncuși sought inspiration in non-European cultures as a source of primitive exoticism, as did Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, André Derain and others. But other influences emerge from Romanian folk art traceable through Byzantine and Dionysian traditions.
Constantin Brâncuşi (n. 19 februarie 1876, Hobiţa, Gorj — d. 16 martie 1957, Paris) a fost un sculptor român cu contribuţii covârşitoare la înnoirea limbajului şi viziunii plastice în sculptura contemporană. Constantin Brâncuşi a fost ales membru postum al Academiei Române. Francezii şi americanii îl desemnează, cel mai adesea, doar prin numele de familie, pe care îl scriu fără semne diacritice, Brancusi, pronunţându-l după regulile de pronunţare ale limbii franceze.
