description: "He turned bronze and marble into forms so pure they feel like ideas made solid — shapes that could be eggs, heads, birds in flight, depending on where you stand. Brâncuși stripped sculpture down to line and curve, and in doing so built the language modern sculptors still speak."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Romania in 1876, Brâncuși learned to carve by shaping wooden farm tools as a child. Formal training carried him from Bucharest to Munich to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he arrived in 1905. He stayed in France and began paring away ornament, balancing the clean geometry of his materials — bronze, marble, wood — against symbolic weight borrowed from non-European cultures and Romanian folk traditions rooted in Byzantine and Dionysian lines. The work made him the patriarch of modern sculpture, a title that held until his death in Paris in March 1957.
