Google Logo for Constantin Brancusi




Very proud to see Google created a special logo showing several art pieces of Constantin Brancusi to mark the moment of the 135th birth anniversary. He was a great Romanian artist born in a village just few kilometers away from Tirgu Jiu city. I am so proud, as this is the city where I also come from and spent my lovely childhood. It is a small city, but still nice, and it worths paying a visit there as you will find several art pieces signed by Constantin Brancusi:
The Endless Column
The Kiss Gate
The Table of Silence
On Wikipedia there are few more details on city of Tirgu Jiu.


The work of Constantin Brancusi was not appreciated by Romania while alive. He moved later and created most of his master pieces in Paris. In his testament he donated many pieces to his country, but the government at that time refused the donation not understanding the real value of his work, while France made him member of French Academy.
