Head 1920

"Head" (1920), a minimalist wooden sculpture by Romanian artist Constantin Brâncuși, is a prime example of his signature style. Brâncuși, known for his simplified forms and focus on essential elements, created this work in a modernist style. It is a study of the human head, reduced to its fundamental geometric shapes and devoid of superfluous detail. This piece exemplifies Brâncuși's interest in exploring the essence of form and the spiritual qualities of sculpture. The sculpture's smooth surface and rounded edges create a sense of tranquility and evoke a feeling of pure form.
