Description

Near the end of World War I, sculptor Constantin Brancusi began using photography to document his art. Preferring to present his work in its studio environment, Brancusi controlled how his sculptures were publicly viewed by reproducing and circulating only his own photographs. In this image, Brancusi attempted to guide the viewer to a formal appreciation of his work, emphasizing the concerns that photography share with sculpture, including mass, volume, abstraction, and transparency.
