Em "The Kiss, 1916" dois amantes exteitamente enlaçados beijam-se apaixonadamente. A força natural desta obra advém do volume da pedra, da qual as formas emergem apenas em esboço, como se nascidas de um sono infinito. Brancusi reduziu as suas esculturas ao mais básico, ao mais abstracto, emprestando-lhes uma vitalidade rudimentar. Este artista teve um influência extraordinária na escultura e arte abstracta em geral do século XX. A grandiosidade simples das suas obras provoca uma sensasão de liberdade e de força. Em 1904 deixou a Roménia (o seu país natal) e foi para Paris deslocando-se a pé, feito que lhe grangeou uma admiração generalizada. A sua fama foi mais tarde alimentada pela acção judicial que lançou contra os serviços alfandegários dos EUA; estes serviços pretendiam cobrar impostos sobre a importação de uma escultura em branze que consideraram apenas matéria-prima. Constantin Brancusi nasceu em Hobitza (ROM) em 1879 e morreu em Paris (FR) em 1956.
...................................................................................................
The Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi, (1876-1957) was a central figure of the modern movement and a pioneer of abstraction. His sculpture is noted for its visual elegance and sensitive use of materials, combining the directness of peasant carving with the sophistication of the Parisian avant-garde. After attending the Bucharest School of Fine Arts and learning of the sculpture of August Rodin, Brancusi traveled to Paris in 1904. Brancusi created his first major work, The Kiss, in 1908. From this time his sculpture became increasingly abstract, moving from the disembodied head of Sleeping Muse to the virtually featureless Beginning of the World and from the formal figure of the legendary bird Maiastra to numerous versions of the ethereal Bird in Space. Brancusi's sculpture gained international notoriety at the 1913 Armory Show in New York, a city that he visited four times and where his work frequently would be exhibited. In his Paris studio at 8 Impasse Ronsin Brancusi devoted great attention to the arrangement of his sculptures, documenting individual works and their installation in an important body of photographs. Isamu Noguchi worked as a studio assistant for Brancusi in 1927, and Brancusi taught him to carve stone and wood. In the 1930s Brancusi worked on two ambitious public sculpture projects, an unrealized temple in India for the Maharajah of Indore and the installation at Tirgu Jiu, Romania, of his Gate of the Kiss, Table of Silence and a 100-foot tall cast iron version of Endless Column. On his death Brancusi left the contents of his studio to the Museum of Art of the City of Paris, on condition that the studio be installed in the museum in its entirety.

Manzoni, "Socle du Monde": le piédestal, dump, détient le monde. Maintenant, tout est une œuvre d'art.
"Chariot du monde (après Manzoni)": le chariot, dépotoir,détient le monde. Maintenant, tout devient une marchandise.
