More Brancusi "Bird In Space"

Artist Jay Rolfe has also - aside from the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art mentioned in yesterday's post - communed with sculptures by Constantin Brancusi at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, and other places. The Met has a white marble "Bird In Space" from 1923 by Brancusi which is also beautiful and elegant. Here's a photo of it, and a link to the Met's website. http://www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/collection_database/Bird_in_Space_Constantin_Brancusi/ViewObject.aspx?depNm=modern_art&pID=-1&kWd=Matisse&OID=210006973&vW=-1&Pg=1&St=0&StOd=1&vT=1

Artist Jay Rolfe saw a bronze bird sculpture by Brancusi with a slightly different shape titled "Golden Bird" from 1919-20 at the Art Institute of Chicago. This polished bronze shape is also beautiful and elegant. Here's a photo of it and a link to the Art Institute's website. http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/eurptg/citi/object?id=91194&collcatid=10

Finally, the third photo is a different view of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's "Bird In Space (Yellow Bird)" from 1923-24 which was featured on yesterday's post. This view shows the bird and the base from a different angle, really showing off the base.

That's the latest step of artist Jay Rolfe on his Journey From Starving Artist To 21st Century Picasso. You may view some of Jay Rolfe's Unique Artistic Idea, his Hyper Representational 3-D Shaped Stretched Canvas paintings, on his website at http://www.3dssc.com/. Artist Jay Rolfe uses vibrant color, 3-D, recognizable shape, and huge size to reveal beauty, touch emotion in a positive way, and create an Uplifting Conversation Piece.

Brancusi "Bird In Space"

Yesterday artist Jay Rolfe featured the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Brancusi sculpture "The Kiss" as his photo of the day. In the background were the bottom portions of 2 versions of "Bird In Space" by Brancusi. Today's photos of the day are both complete sculptures. This is the link to the Philadelphia Museum of Art's website for the 1924 bronze "Bird In Space." http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/51057.html Here is the link to the Philadelphia Museum of Art's 1923-24 yellow marble "Bird In Space (Yellow Bird)." http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/51114.html I find these sculptures, like "The Kiss," beautiful and elegant.

For those of you nearer New York City, the Museum of Modern Art also has a significant collection of sculptures by Constantin Brancusi, including 1928 and 1941 examples of "Bird In Space." Here's a link to MoMA's website for the 1928 bronze "Bird In Space" by Brancusi. http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?object_id=81033 And here's the link to the 1941 bronze "Bird In Space" by Brancusi. http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?object_id=81503 I'm not including the photos here today, so you'll have to click on the links and go to MoMA's website.

Brancusi "The Kiss"

Today is a day of rest for artist Jay Rolfe. Today's photo is one of my favorite sculptures at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, "The Kiss" by Constantin Brancusi from 1916. It's sculpted from limestone. In the background are the bottoms of 2 versions of "Bird In Space" by Brancusi, the bronze one with black marble base made in 1924 and the yellow marble one made in 1923-24. I'm also including the official photo from the museum's website. Here's the link to "The Kiss" on the museum's website. http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/51306.html
