No, he’s not italian, even if I think he would have loved to be.
Either french. Even if his famous atelier is in Paris and can be visited at Centre George Pompidou.
An his name is not pronounced “Broooooncouuuziii”, but Brankushi, with a short “i”.
Constantin Brancusi or the father of modern sculpture, was born in Romania, in a small town called Targu Jiu.
Brancusi always fascinate artists and designers, that’s why for his birthday we’ll celebrate it with a little bit of the fashion inspiration.
Happy birthday!
