Constantin Brâncuși was a central figure in modern art and one of the pioneers of abstraction. His work often sought to capture the essence of subjects rather than their literal representation, using simple, elegant forms. Born in Romania, he later made Paris his artistic home, profoundly influencing 20th-century sculpture.
