Pássaro no espaço

Constantin Brancusi French, born Romania
1923
Not on view
Ao longo de sua vida, Brancusi foi obcecado com o tema de pássaros. Na obra Pássaro no espaço, seu propósito não era o de representar um pássaro em particular, mas capturar a essência do voo. Por este motivo, removeu as asas e outras partes do corpo, alongou o corpo e reduziu a cabeça e o bico em um plano oval inclinado. Esta obra de 1923 é a primeira de uma série em que Brancusi trabalhou durante as próximas duas décadas, até os anos 1940. Existem outras sete versões em mármore e nove em bronze.
