Bird in Space

 
Bird in Space by Brancusi is displayed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He was a Romanian artist and wanted to capture the essence of things as he did with this sculpture. He’s attempting to capture the action of the bird itself. The piece represents the essence of flight, and chose this particular shape to do it.

I enjoy looking at this piece because of its simplicity. It’s smooth and clean, and I can understand why Brancusi named the piece Bird in Space. I can imagine in my mind an actual bird in space, but Brancusi’s interpretation looks much more futuristic. I chose it for my collection because it’s simple.
