BRANCUSI Autographed letter to the Romanian Ministry of Cults MANUSCRIPT 1914

  
BRANCUSI Constantin - Handwritten signed letter addressed to the Romanian Ministry of Worship. Paris, January 1914, 21x28.5 cm, one page on a sheet of paper. Very important signed autograph letter from Constantin Brâncu? I addressed to the Romanian Ministry of Worship, written in black ink on a white paper. Embossed stamp and postage stamp in ink.

Transverse folds from being sent. In this letter dated January 1914 and addressed to the Minister of Worship, the sculptor requests permission to bring some of his sculptures to Romania for the exhibition of the "Youth Artistic" society.

He was then in Paris, as evidenced by his address: 54 rue du Montparnasse. A list of works was apparently attached to this letter, but unfortunately, it has been lost. This letter shows the close ties between Brâncu? I and the Romanian artists of the "Youth Artistic" society, which has been organizing exhibitions of paintings and sculptures since 1908. I presented six works, including The Prayer (1907), The Kiss (1907-08), and Mademoiselle Pogany (1913) at the fourteenth exhibition of this important artistic society. He was already a renowned sculptor at that time, with five of his works being exhibited at the Armory Show in New York (17 February - 15 March 1913), where his sculpture Mademoiselle Pogany caused a scandal due to its modernity alongside Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase, and established him as one of the major artists of the second decade of the 20th century.
