Homage Constantin Brâncuşi

Constantin Brâncuşi February 19, 1876 – March 16, 1957) was a Romanian-born sculptor who made his career in France. As a child he displayed an aptitude for carving wooden farm tools. Formal studies took him first to Bucharest, then to Munich, then to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. His abstract style emphasizes clean geometrical lines that balance forms inherent in his materials with the symbolic allusions of representational art.

This image was taken yesterday, as I wandered around a junkyard. I thought of the “The Endless Column” a sculpture by Brâncuşi. This is one of the images shot just because I remembered this specific artwork and wanted to compliment his idea.


The Column of the Infinite (Coloana infinitului) stacks 17 rhomboidal modules, with a half-unit at the top. The incomplete top unit is thought to be the element that expresses the concept of the infinite.[1] Brâncuşi had experimented with this form as early as 1918, with an oak version now found in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York
