Talk:Constantin Brâncuși

message: I notice that this link:
* www.ModernFurnitureClassics.com Transcript of an interview with Isamu Noguchi regarding his time working in the Brancusi Studio.
... was recently removed without comment from the article. I don't have a strong feeling about it either way (it's moderately interesting, might be a useful citation to link Brancusi and Isamu Noguchi someplace, but doesn't necessarily rise to the level of a reason to link if its not cited) but, generally, when removing something like this there should be an edit summary. - Jmabel | Talk 06:40, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Various sources say he was born 21 February 1876, not 19 February.  Is there any documentation about his true DOB?  And was that the Julian or Gregorian date (Romania used the Julian calendar until the early 20th century)?  --  JackofOz (talk) 08:50, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Sandburg's Brancusi poem

message: Brancusi was well known for his "Le Baiser", the Kiss. Something he was said to have had in common with Auguste Rodin. Strangely enough there is no picture. So I have included one.

replies: text: Pictures of The Kisshttp://www.amour.ro/sculptures/le-baiser.php are usually removed when these pictures are taken in France because it is deemed to violate the "Freedom of Panorama" laws. The Kiss can also be found in many places outside of Francehttp://www.nashersculpturecenter.org/object.aspx?ObjectID=7http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/51306.html, so I wonder if this law really applies. Brancusi is one of the most important sculptors of the twentieth century, a picture of The Kiss should be included.  It adorns one of the graves in Montparnasse Cemetery (division 22, on the grave of Tatiana Racheveskaïa)http://www.appl-lachaise.net/appl/article.php3?id_article=760. Brancusi himself is buried in this cemetery in division 18http://www.paris.fr/viewmultimediadocument?multimediadocument-id=30541. 83.160.198.125 (talk) 22:08, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Kiss 

message: OK, so I'll open this can o'worms.  The linked article, a source from a prestigious museum, states that Brâncuşi never intended for the work to be perceived as phallic.  And here we have someone (who I've not *yet* bothered to look up) boldly perpetrating this theory.  And what does Freud have to do with it?  This is art, not psychiatry, for goodness' sake....

replies: text: . He has dual nationality (Romanian and French). He was born as Romanian, so he should be said to be romanian-born. Otherwise it should be stated that he had romanian AND french nationalities? Ilyushka ☃Talk!Contribs 21:39, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit request from Evoda, 19 February 2011 

message: There seems to be a conspicuous discrepancy between the English and the German Wikipedia concerning Brâncuşi’s parents. 
English WP :
His parents Nicolae and Maria Brâncuşi were poor peasants who earned a meager living through back-breaking labor.
German WP :
Der Vater war ein wohlhabender Mann, der die Ländereien um das Kloster Tismana verwaltete. 
The Rumanian Wikipedia doesn’t really clear up whether his father was a well-off man or a destitute pauper. The question has already received attention above (under Untitled). Could somebody look into this ? Hirpex (talk) 19:05, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It is difficult to find anything that can be sourced and many sources quote each other, making a decent search practically impossible. However the Encyclopedia Britannica states that his parents were poor peasantshttp://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/77613/Constantin-Brancusi/807/Early-life-and-works. As the EB is usually well informed, I trust this answers your question. 83.160.198.125 (talk) 22:37, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Coldcreation - I'd rather see the quote showcased within the article. It is a striking quote, and was selected by art critic John Berger for special mention. It does more good than harm where it is. Perhaps the quote in the lower section can be removed, it you prefer. What do you think?36hourblock (talk) 19:22, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I would rather see the quote in the section where it was originally placed; Brâncuși on his own work. As it stands now that quote seems contextually out of place in the article. I'm moving this conversation to the Brâncuși Talk page for any further discussion. Coldcreation (talk) 22:32, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  I notice that Berger, in The Success and Failure of Picasso, does not highlight the quote, nor is the quote mentioned in any 'special' way. In fact he writes directly following the quote: "Brancusi, however, lived in the same way as he worked; simply, austerely, and - in terms of the demands of modern Paris or New York"... Coldcreation (talk) 22:47, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm going to proceed to revert your edits back to the way the article was prior to your intervention. There is no need to have that quote in a section where it is out of place, and there is no need to have the same quote three times in the same article: once in Romanian and twice in English. Please do not change the article again without soliciting some form of general consensus. Thanks for your comprehension. Coldcreation (talk) 18:37, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
