Photographs

— Constantin Brancusi

Following the major retrospective dedicated to Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957) at the Centre Pompidou, Paris last year, Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Marais presents a selection of the Romanian artist’s photographic work, spanning 1906 to 1938. Brancusi’s photography was an integral part of his artistic practice and evolved alongside his sculpture from early in his career. In 1956, he bequeathed his entire studio to the French State, including a number of his photographs, which were notably the subject of a focused exhibition running alongside the artist’s first retrospective in France, also held at the Centre Pompidou in 1995.
