Bird in Space, Brancusi
While this sculpture might seem abstract, Brancusi insisted that his works revealed the inner essence of his subjects. Brancusi did not have a large workshop or use plaster or clay models; rather, he worked alone with the materials, in this case carving stone and polishing brass.
