He has also visited Brancusi's homeland in Romania and seen some of the local influences there own Brancusi's later work. ...plus the endless column and some other works ........ all of which gives context to the sculpture. I was blown away by the reconstruction of Brancusi's Atelier in the Pompidou Centre ....it looks so real ...just like Brancusi just walked out on it......though, perhaps the sculptures might not have been so artfully arranged there in that case.
Geist's book is really a rather carefully constructed biography of the man..as seen through his sculptures ...but also in letters and contemporary comment. I especially liked the letters from Madam Pogorny who apparently actually liked her sculpture very much. She probably didn't realise how famous she would become despite the negative reactions to it at the time.
For me, this is a great work of biography and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Apart from that there are so many photographs and one can trace the development of many of Brancusi's ideas...especially the bird/s in Space from his earlier works.....The elongation and the increasing abstraction. Geist has so many insights. Easily worth 5 stars.… (plus d'informations)
