Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This is a handsomely produced tribute to one of the 20th century's most influential sculptors. Written by a fellow national, the discursive text throws fascinating sidelights on Brancusi's Romanian heritage and art historical associations. An illuminating section evaluates the artist's monumental, uncompleted projects: the Targu-Jui ensemble, and the Temple of Meditation of Indore. The book's thoughtful analysis of sculptural processes, its comprehensive photographs, and its price make it a purchase for large and specialized collections. A catalogue raisonne of Brancusi's work will be forthcoming. Paula A. Baxter, Museum of Modern Art Lib., New York

A profound and brilliant study on an icon of modern sculpture. Not only are the illustrations beautiful but the text is also enlightening, allowing some insights into the artist's personality through vividly told anecdotes. One of the best art books I have ever read.Worth every penny!

This review is from: Brancusi: Revised Edition (Hardcover)
Through this book Radu Varia has given to us the ultimate, most comprehensive work on the great sculptor's creation. It's the essential summum of knowledge each Brancusi scholar or admirer should own - in splendid reproduction quality, with excellent in-depth comments and explanations, at a quite reasonable price.
