Constantin Brancusi, The Golden Bird

Constantin Brancusi, The Golden Bird Year, c. 1919-22, Gelatin silver print

In other images Brancusi underscores his attachment to his works as almost living spirits, multiplying and animating their forms with shadows or double exposures, or arranging them in suggestive tableaus. In an especially tender image his sculpture “Little French Girl” seems to sidle up to a cuplike sculpture resting on an “Endless Column” fragment as if this combination were a comforting parent.
