To nie jest miłość, jeśli ktoś zobaczy piękną kobietę — i zapragnie jej, posłuszny oczom swym, umiejącym oceniać. Lecz jeśli ujrzy choćby brzydką — i nagle przeszyją go strzały, i miłuje, i serce pełne jest gorejącego szaleństwa — To jest miłość. Ta miłość jest ogniem. Piękność bowiem podoba się wszystkim, których oczy potrafią patrzeć, wszystkim jednakowo. przełożył Zygmunt Kubiak
He was born on April 6, 1917 in the town of Chorley, in Lancashire, England. In 1936 he entered the Ozenfant Academy of Art, in the city of London. The following year she met someone who indirectly introduced her to the surrealist movement: the German painter Max Ernst, whom he met again on a trip to Paris and with whom he soon established a sentimental relationship. During his stay in that city he came into contact with the Surrealist movement and lived with notable figures of the movement such as Joan Miró and André Breton, as well as with other painters who gathered around the table of Café Les Deux Magots, such as the painter Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí. In 1938 he wrote a short story called The House of Fear and participated with Max Ernst in the International Exhibition of Surrealism in Paris and Amsterdam. Prior to the Nazi occupation of France, several painters of the Surrealist movement, including Leonora Carrington, became active collaborators of the Freier Künstlerbund, an underground movement of anti-fascist intellectuals. Leonora Carrington was only 20 years old when she met Max Ernst in London. Then the painter was already 47 years old and quite famous as a surrealist. The great age difference, the fact that Ernst was also married, as well as his radical surrealist positions meant that this relationship did not count on the consent of Leonora's father. In spite of this, the couple was reunited in Paris and soon they went to live in the province, in the town of Saint-Martin-d'Ardèche, in a country house that they acquired in 1938. Until today it is conserved in the facade of this house is a relief that represents the couple and their role play: «Loplop», the alter ego of Max Ernst, a fabulous winged animal between bird and starfish and his «Bride of the Wind»: Leonora Carrington. The calm and happy life of the couple in this place lasted only one year. In September 1939 Max Ernst was declared an enemy of the Vichy regime. After the arrest and imprisonment of Ernst in the field of Les Milles, Leonora suffered a psychic destabilization. Before the inexorable Nazi invasion, she was forced to flee to Spain. Under the management of her father, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Santander, and from this period the painter kept an indelible mark, which decisively affected her later work. Leonora described, in his autobiographical work (En bas) the details of this dramatic story. From this moment, André Breton became interested in hysteria, madness and other mental alterations and saw Leonora as a returning ambassador from the "other side", a seer, the witch who returned from the underworld armed with visionary powers. In 1941 he escaped from the hospital and arrived in the city of Lisbon, where he found refuge in the Mexican embassy. There he met the writer Renato Leduc, who helped her emigrate. That same year he married and Leonora traveled to New York. In 1942 he emigrated to Mexico and in 1943 he divorced Renato Leduc. In Mexico, the painter reestablished links with several of her Surrealist colleagues and friends in exile, who also met in that country, such as André Breton, Benjamin Péret, Alice Rahon, Wolfgang Paalen and the painter Remedios Varo, with whom she maintained a lasting friendship In the eighties, Leonora began to fuse bronze sculptures, her subjects refer to the multiple realities that confronts the reality of old age, and on the other hand Carrington had a genuine interest in alchemy and the fairy tales with which she grew up. that is perceived in his pictorial and sculptural work. She was the winner of the National Prize for Science and Arts in the Fine Arts area, awarded by the government of Mexico in 2005. He died at age 94 in Mexico City on May 25, 2011.

Mademoiselle Pogany III by Constantin Brancusi 1933 Centre Georges Pompidou The atelier of Constantin Brancusi shows the culmination of the sculptor's work at the forefront of the French avant-guarde, reports Jeanne-Marie Cilento from Paris. "There are idiots who define my work as abstract; yet what they call abstract is what is most realistic. What is real is not the appearance, but the idea, the essence of things." ~ Constantin Brancusi Hidden away in the narrow streets crowding around Rue Rambuteau in Paris is the atelier of Modernist sculptor Constantin Brancusi. Italian architect Renzo Piano designed and recreated the sculptor’s studio as it was left in 1957 in a new building tucked in behind the soaring staircases of the Pompidou. Filled with Brancusi’s most evocative sculptures such as Bird in Space, A Muse and Infinite Columns, the studio is a way of experiencing the artist’s best work. He spent his last years grouping, regrouping and photographing his large works to achieve the ideal spatial arrangement. The Atelier Brancusi is the high-point of the artist’s work and an atmospheric way of viewing his famous sculptures exactly in the context he planned them to be seen. One of the great pioneers of modernism, he is considered the originator of modern, abstract sculpture. Today Brancusi’s work commands millions - the Yves Saint Laurent/Pierre Bergé sale in 2009 of Madame LR sold for a record 29.185 million euros - yet the sculptor started life as a poor Romanian peasant. While his parents labored in the fields near the Carpathian mountains, Constantin herded sheep and by nine years old was working in the local town at a public house. It is a remarkable leap from this rural, agricultural background to becoming a world-reknowned artist - in his own lifetime. But Brancusi’s natural aptitude for wood-carving stood him in great stead. As an eighteen year old lover of music and especially Romanian folk songs he created his own violin. It was so well done that a local businessman recognized his latent talent and enrolled him at the Craiova School of Arts and Crafts. He studied wood-working and graduated with honours in 1898. He then went on to receive his academic training in sculpture at the Bucharest School of Fine Arts. In 1904 he travelled to Paris and arrived amid the French capital's foment of new ideas, becoming part of the Parisian avant guarde of the 1910s and 1920s. The sculptor worked with Auguste Rodin for several months but decided that although he admired his work "nothing can grow under big trees". Brancusi was part of a group of artists and intellectuals that included Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Guillaume Apollinaire, Henri Rousseau and Fernand Leger. Although Brancusi remained based in Paris for the rest of his life, he still liked to dress simply like a Romanian peasant and his house and studio were filled with the rough-hewn furniture in wood and stone that was familiar from his childhood and that we see today in his atelier. Brancusi's philosophy valued "differentiating the essential from the ephemeral" and Plato and Lao-Tzu were great influences. An idealist and ascetic later in life, visitors to his studio noted its tranquil, spiritual atmosphere. The Atelier Brancusi has been moved from it’s original location in Impasse Ronsin in the 15th arrondissment but the studio still provides a calm respite from the Parisian hurly-burly outside. The four small studios and workshops are full of Brancusi's carefully arranged series of sculptures and all of his tools that he left to the Musee National D'Art Moderne in 1956.

He didn't want to move these as he believed he had found the best arrangement for them to seen as the culmination of his life's work.

Sculptures organised by Brancusi around the great stone fireplace from his original atelier. Brancusi's workshop and studio as he left it in 1957 with the famous Bird in Flight in the foreground. Tools cover the work benches and walls near the forge in Brancusi's studio. The sculptor carved directly into his material whether it was wood, marble or plaster to try and reach the form within. He made or modified many of his own tools and used grindstones and sanders to give a highly polished sheen to his marble and bronze sculptures. One of Brancusi's studies for Muse.

His parents, while certainly not well off financially, were accepting and loving of their children and believed strongly in education. Gaylord was sent off to the public school system as soon as he was of age.
