I will tell you something about his character that few knew: as you said he was cheeky and fun. The province where he was raised in Romania is called "Oltenia" (Olt îs a river), the people there are famous nationwide for being very spiritual, funny, witty and... GOOD DRINKERS. Brancusi being from a working class society, was definitely all of the above. He was as we would call him today, an "Oltean".

Brancusi wasn’t making minimalist work, he was profoundly spiritual. His obsession was essence as a universal interweaving with the cosmos. He would have been appalled by the grandiosity of Koons and the cold emptiness of American minimalism. He equally wasn’t subverting as Duchamp was. Thank you for the video.

thank you for this video, because many of the brancusi videos are either not in english and have no english subtitles, and although the speaker is informative, the fact that we could barely see the work is shame.

Bravo Brîncuși România 🎉

This is all wonderfull and all but you really have to pronounce his name right. Thank you !

You are not well informed about Brâncuși's life and his work!!

Informative but the microphone rub makes it unlistenable!
