    Alex Potts - Sculpture As Object Brancusi

    Uploaded by

    This article discusses Constantin Brancusi's sculpture as objects that focus on form rather than representation. It examines how Brancusi stripped away details to focus on the essence of his subjects, creating smooth, polished forms that resemble abstract objects more than realistic portraits. His sculptures challenged assumptions about what sculpture could be by treating them as pure forms instead of representations of something else.
