Constantin Brâncuși

When John was born, in 1934, his mother gifted him with three names: John, Constantin and Brâncusi. She told him his father was Constantin Brâncusi, the famous sculptor.

In the early 1920's, Man Ray, who had previously taught Constantin Brancusi how to handle a still camera, introduced him to the movie camera. These fifty minutes of film, shot between 1923 and 1939, representing the sum total of all the images ever filmed by Brancusi, have never been shown before.
