Constantin Brancusi

The Sleeping Muse (Romanian: is a bronze sculpture created by Constantin Brâncuși in 1910. It was originally carved from marble using Baroness Renée-Irana Frachon as the model. Refining the sculpture, Brâncuși cast several versions in bronze, which are now housed in museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

It is a model of a head without a body, featuring markings that indicate the hair, nose, lips, and closed eyes.

In A History of Western Art, Laurie Adams states that the sculpture possesses “an abstract, curvilinear quality and a smooth contour that create an impression of elegance.” By casting them in metal with a fine finish, these sculptures are described as “self-sufficient, archetypal modern forms.”
