Prodigal son 

This sculpture, "Prodigal Son," is a quintessential work by Romanian sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, known for his pioneering contributions to modern sculpture. The piece, carved from wood, exhibits Brâncuși's signature style of simplification and abstraction, capturing the essence of the human form with minimal details. The stark geometry and smooth surfaces reflect his desire to express pure form, capturing a sense of timeless elegance. Brâncuși's work, often celebrated for its simplicity, challenges traditional notions of sculpture by emphasizing the power of form over representation, making "Prodigal Son" a powerful testament to his unique artistic vision.
