Constantin Brancusi

 The first work of Brancusi that I saw, was one of his bronze muses in Centre Pompidou. I was fourteen years old and It was my first visit and stay in Paris, with the children from the weekend Academy and our teacher Patrick Ysebaert. Centre Pompidou was so futuristic, so apart from what I was used to see, that I was hugely impressed and overwhelmed. And then I noticed a small sculpture in bronze: a female head lying on tis side. I passed it with my group and something pulled me back to the work. The form, the way the head was presented, the elegance, ... And I stayed and looked at the bronze heard for over fifteen minutes. Just looking. The first sculpture that really touched me. Brancusi...
