About This Book
Constantin Brancusi's ensemble at Targu Jiu is among the defining achievements of modern sculpture - a sequence of monumental works conceived as a single meditation on memory and sacrifice, created to honor the Romanian dead of the First World War. In this study, art historian Catalina Bogdan-Mateescu examines the complex as a unified composition, reading its principal elements - the Table of Silence, the Gate of the Kiss, and the soaring Endless Column - in relation to one another and to Brancusi's larger body of work. The result is a focused, accessible analysis of one of the twentieth century's most important public monuments. Paperback, 132 pages.
