This exhibition will present an exceptional collection of works by major 20th-century artist Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957), considered to be the father of modern sculpture. Originating from Romania, Brancusi settled in Paris in 1904 after crossing Europe, and upon his death, chose to bequeath his entire workshop to the French State. The exhibition is created from this precious collection, held by the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou.

Exploring different facets of his work (sculpture, film, photography, painting), the exhibition highlights the major themes developed by the artist: the sleeping muse, the child's head, animals, the torso, the kiss, and more... Sculptures with smooth, pure forms reflect the “essence of things” for the artist, going beyond appearance to achieve a universal language.

Celebrating Brancusi's power of invention and constant quest for beauty, the exhibition highlights the major revolutions driven by Brancusi’s art: the reinvention of the portrait, the use of plinths and space, research around reflection of the light and movement, serial production, and more...
