Brancusi was a Romanian sculptor, painter, and photographer. He was one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century and is called the patriarch of modern sculpture. This piece is called "Fish" and was done in 1926. The fish is supported by a circular disc which is a "pool" and allows it to be rotated. When viewed from a certain angle it is so thin it almost seems to disappear. The "fish" is made of bronze and the "pool" is made of metal and the stand is all wood. Since the circular stand is metal you can see the reflection of the fish like it was an actual pool of water.
