Constantin Brancusi: Mlle Pogany (1913)
Recommended by Minna Kelly
If I ever did an art heist, it would be a Brancusi. This is a favorite——the way she swoops is so serene and lovely.

That was my great great great aunt! (Maybe it’s two greats, gotta check the family books)

Wow wow wow! That's amazing. I know she was an artist herself...did any of her pieces remain with the family?
@pogany
Unfortunately no ...a lot was left behind or lost during the war.
@her_factory
That makes sense. Still, though, what an cool legacy! Thanks for sharing this with me :)

I saw the (record-setting!) Brancusi at Christie's last week, and it literally made me gasp.
@her_factory
Ooo, thanks for letting me know about this - I spend *quite* a bit of time on the website admiring the content (including a silly but very prettily produced video with Nicole Kidman and the Brancusi)

The Bernini sculptures at Villa Borghese in Rome! They made me weep even as an uncultured teenager
