The exhibition Brancusi and His Muses will present a rich and unique ensemble of works of art and collectibles – photographs taken by Constantin Brancusi, exhibited in a world premiere, sculptures, films, correspondence, posters, documents and personal objects that belonged to the women who marked his life.

The exhibition is conceived as an incursion into the intimacy of Constantin Brancusi, his relationships with women: artists, writers, dancers, gallerists who visited him at his Parisian studio, such as Baroness Renée Irana Frachon (the model for the Sleeping Muse), Margit Pogany, Lizica and Irina Codreanu, Nancy Cunard, Mina Loy, dancers Marthe Lebherz, Florence Meyer, Marina Saliapin, as well as the artist’s last partner, the British-born pianist Vera Moore. They became his friends, lovers and inspiring muses during a rich period of creativity.

Adored and adored by the women who crossed his threshold, Brâncuși held them in special respect, elevating them to the level of emblematic figures of femininity, transposed by him into well-known sculptures, photographs and films – his last passion.

The exhibition will include works by Constantin Brâncuși, Irina Codreanu, Curtis Moffat, Edward Steichen and will mark the Constantin Brâncuși Year in Romania, 150 years after the birth of the great sculptor.

War and Peace is a visual essay about the strange and terrible incessantness of the human being. About the way in which violence has been, for centuries, invested with meaning, glory and necessity, and peace, glorified ideologically, has remained recorded by history as an episodic state of imponderable fragility. The allusion sought to Tolstoy’s novel is the pretext, but also the direct expression of the two primordial states, which you will find generously illustrated in the history of our familiar art, from Trajan’s Column or the romantic representations of the proverbial national battles to the horrors of the Great War and the class struggle of communist propaganda.
