MoMA Lecture: Constantin Brancusi Sculpture

On Tuesday, October 16, 2018, Larissa Bailiff returned to Darien Library to talk about MoMA's latest exhibit. Get a sneak preview of the latest hit exhibit from the Museum of Modern Art: Constantin Brancusi Sculpture. Refreshments will be served. Looking back at the first showing of Constantin Brancusi's work (1876–1957) in the United States, in the 1913 Armory Show, one writer reflected that sculptures on view were “disturbing, so disturbing indeed that they completely altered the attitude of a great many New Yorkers towards a whole branch of art.” Indeed, Brancusi’s beguilingly simple forms looked like nothing else, then or since. This exhibition celebrates MoMA’s extraordinary holdings—11 sculptures by Brancusi will be shown together for the first time, alongside drawings, photographs, and films. A selection of never-before-seen archival materials shed light on his relationships with friends, sitters, and patrons, including this Museum. What emerges is a rich portrait of an artist whose risk-taking and inventive approach to form changed the course of the art that followed. Can't make the live event?
