Constantin Brancusi
The Sleeping Muse (Romanian: is a bronze sculpture created by Constantin BrĆ¢ncuČ™i in 1910. It was originally carved from marble using Baroness RenĆ©e-Irana Frachon as the model. Refining the sculpture, BrĆ¢ncuČ™i 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 MusĆ©e 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.”
