Marcel Duchamp about Princess X masterpiece, in which masculine and feminine merge into the same image, tapping into the androgyny theme: “The viewer makes the work of art”
Both chronological and organised by different themes, the exhibition continues with portraits and muses, feminine and masculine, the relationship to flight, animals, and his evolution towards oblique and horizontal forms, as well as a invitation to sit and contemplate the piece called Léda (1926), which is presented in motion, on a rotating pedestal, in perpetual metamorphosis, as Constantin Brancusi himself presented it in his studio.
The Brancusi exhibition closes with some of the artist’s monumental works, including his famous Endless Column, which was installed in the garden of his friend Edward Steichen in Voulangis, along with a series of references to where other columns made by Brancusi are located in the world.
Along with the displayed works, the curator chose to reveal some details about the Romanian sculptor’s other affinities, such as dance and music, which were important parts of his life. We learn that Brancusi was impressed by the music of composers such as Erik Satie, Darius Milhaud or Marcel Mihalovici.
The exhibition is open until July 1, 2024.
