Brancusi

Constantin Brancusi was a controversial sculptor in his time because he thought that being real was more than something looking like nature. He created unexpected shapes that comically portrayed their titles. With his unusual sculptures, Brancusi challenged the world to reconsider what sculpture was and how they see it. Previous sculptors had been very technical until Brancusi chose to create non-representational sculptures completely with his hands and tools instead of casting. I chose to look at his sculpture "The Kiss" because I found it interesting that it is almost a complete rectangle brick, with only a little bit carved out of it and you can still tell that it is two people kissing even though they are not as detailed and "human-like" as previous sculptors.
