Synopsis
”Brâncuși. Cutting the stone and the wood with his bare peasant hands from Gorj, he opened the gate to a new universe for all of the humanity. He is more than a sculptor, he is a prophet”. This is how we are introduced to the fascinating Brancusian universe, created with artistic rigor in the documentary Constantin Brâncuși. The Column or the Lesson on the Infinite, by Laurențiu Damian. An online documentary that presents, step by step, the work of one of the most important Romanian artists.
Synopsis
In October 1996, the Infinite Column was dismantled. After four years of technical surveys, restoration works were initiated in the fall of 2000 and they were finalized in the early winter of the same year. The film captures this process, probably unique, within the larger context of Constantin Brâncuși’s life and personality.
