The Romanian sculptor, painter and photographer Constantin Brâncusi made his career in France. Considered a pioneer of modernism and the patriarch of modern sculpture, Brâncusi was one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th-century. His art emphasizes clean geometrical lines that balance forms inherent in his materials with the symbolic allusions of representational art. Brâncuși sought inspiration in non-European cultures as a source of primitive exoticism, but other influences emerge in his work from Romanian folk art.
