A sapphire and diamond ring given by Constantin Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i to the singer Maria T\u0103nase, a plaster bas-relief mounted on wood with the sculptor’s face by Mili\u021ba Petra\u0219cu, a letter from him to Florence Meyer and a Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i bust signed by Ion Irimescu are among the objects included in the exhibition “The essence of memory: Constantin Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i, documents, images, testimonies” at the Gorj County Museum “Alexandru \u0218tefulescu”.<\/p>\n

Organized by the museum in partnership with the Romanian Academy Library (Manuscripts Cabinet, Rare Books, Prints Cabinet), “Lucian Blaga” Central University Library Cluj-Napoca, Bucharest Metropolitan Library, “I.G. Sbiera” Suceava and in collaboration with several private collections, with the sculptor Alferd Dumitriu as a special guest, the exhibition proposes a reflective incursion into the universe of Brancu\u0219i.<\/p>\n

The photographs, manuscripts, correspondence, notes, objects, as well as the accounts of contemporaries reveal a Brancusi attentive to time, silence and rhythm, aware that pure form is not born from accumulation, but from a slow process of liberation, the presentation says.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, open until March 30, is curated by Adina Ren\u021bea and marks the 150th anniversary of the sculptor’s birth, on February 19, 2026.<\/p>\n
