Brancusi:

Brancusi was a Romanian sculptor born on February 19, 1876. He was also a painter and photographer and had a specific interest in modernization and geometric shapes and forms. He is called the patriarch of modern sculpture. He started with carving wooden farm tools and as he developed into a young man he started becoming more and more interested in other materials and forms. He grew up in the Carpathian Mountains but became a famous artist and made a career in France. Brancusi learned from Antoin Mercié at his workshop where he worked for two years. He then was invited to work at Auguste Rodin’s workshop but left shortly after because he did not want to be overshadowed.
