On 19th February every year it is celebrated the birthday of a great
Romanian sculptor named Constantin Brancusi.
133 years have passed since his birth and on this occasion we had
the opportunity to participate at a cultural symposium about “The
life and the opera of Brancusi “unfolded in our in Targu-Jiu. In frame
of this symposium participated different cultural people of our
country together with the students from more schools who had
presented a series of composition works and even a play about
Brancusi, surprised very well “the essence of the Brancusi opera “.This
works were analyzed by the jury, which brought more information’s
related in the sculptors works, and details of his life .We were very
excited to find out more new things that we didn’t know such as
the period evolution of kiss, a very important theme because we
find her at several creations of the artist. Although the symposium
lasted few hours we couldn’t noticed passage of time because all
of us try to imagine the forms of Brancusi opera’s and so we
understood better the message sent by him. We learned a lot of
things from this experience and we believe that we are able in the
future to present this creation of the most important Romanian
sculptor to you!
