Pájaro en el espacio

Constantin Brancusi French, born Romania
1923
Not on view
Durante toda su vida, Brancusi estuvo obsesionado con el tema de los pájaros. En Pájaro en el espacio, su propósito no es representar a un pájaro en concreto sino capturar la esencia del vuelo. Con este fin, elimina las alas y otros elementos del cuerpo, al que da una forma elongada, reduciendo la cabeza y el pico a un plano oval ladeado. Esta obra de 1923 es la primera de una serie en la que Brancusi trabajará durante las dos décadas siguientes, hasta los años cuarenta. Existen otras siete versiones en mármol y nueve en bronce.
