Today I'll talk about the "Atelier Brancusi", in Paris. It's amazing how many people from different backgrounds, languages, countries, came to Paris to learn, do, create, innovate, change ART. Some of them donated their work to the city, thus extending their legacy. Constantin Brancusi, born in Romania in 1876, had his Fine Arts training in Bucharest, then came to Paris in 1904 and stayed there till his death in 1957. After working for 53 years in Paris, he donated his atelier to the French State, so it's one of the free museums in Paris, all state museums are free! Brancusi was constantly preocupied by the relation between his sculptures and the space around them. Space was for him like the framing is for a painting. He believed that "life is a fermentation and must be transformed in order to remain alive".

Spotorno Morning
Spotorno Morning, watercolor, 11x15" (28x37cm.) was inspired by a visit to the South of Italy a few years ago. I enjoyed walking along the Spotorno promenade in the early morning, and sketching here and there as I walked. Later I did this watercolor, and is now in the home of Ms. Evelyn Ball and Mr. Dig Wayne, in North Hills, California.
