Vintage "Mademoiselle Pogany" by Constantin Brancusi | Reproduction by Austin Inc. 1961

This unrivaled modernist sculpture is in RARE pristine condition!

Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957) was a Romanian sculptor, painter and photographer who made his career in France. A pioneer of modernism and one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th-century, Brancusi is called the patriarch of modern sculpture. 

The story of this motif, reworked in several variants by Brancusi over a long period of time, has become legendary. The subject was a Hungarian girl who had come to Paris to study painting; whom Brancusi first met in 1910. After a number of visits to his studio, she asked him for a portrait and during her last two months in Paris, December 1910 and January 1911, she sat for him several more times. He destroyed the clay studies that he made in her presence, though several drawings did survive. A year after she returned to Hungary, Brancusi carved the marble sculpture from memory.
