DESCRIPTION:Good news! The exhibition “Brâncuși. The Syndrome” has been ext
 ended until 14 March 2027!\n“Brâncuși. The Syndrome” marks the 150th anniv
 ersary of the birth of sculptor Constantin Brâncuși and offers visitors a 
 distinctive perspective on the influence of his work. It examines the vari
 ous forms of artistic discourse that have developed around the works and p
 ersonality of the most important modern sculptor\, from the interwar perio
 d to the present day. Two narrative strands\, intertwined over the past ce
 ntury\, can be understood as a veritable Brâncuși syndrome\, which became 
 endemic in Romanian culture. On the one hand\, the exhibition reveals the 
 formative dominant force exerted by Brâncuși’s personality and work on mod
 ern and contemporary Romanian art. On the other\, it explores how Brâncuși
 ’s mythical image took shape and spread throughout Romania’s visual cultur
 e\, becoming a national\, cultural and spiritual symbol.\nThe exhibition b
 rings together works that trace both the artist’s image and the formal\, s
 ymbolic and critical echoes of his artistic legacy. Among the works on dis
 play are portraits of Brâncuși by M.H. Maxy\, Theodor Pallady and Milița P
 etrașcu\; tributes created by M.H. Maxy and Vasile Dobrian\; sculptures by
  Milița Petrașcu\, Irina Codreanu\, Hans Mattis-Teutsch\, Ion Irimescu\, G
 eorge Apostu\, Ovidiu Maitec and Vasile Gorduz\; as well as contemporary i
 nterpretations and reappropriations of Brâncușian motifs. These range from
  Paul Neagu’s studies after “Bird in Space”\, “The Fish”\, “Mademoiselle P
 ogany”\, “The Maiastra Bird” and “The Endless Column”\, to works by Iosif 
 Kiraly\, Teodor Graur\, Mircea Cantor\, Vlad Nancă\, Michele Bressan and D
 an Perjovschi.\nAs Brâncuși achieved\, particularly after 1970\, &nbsp\;gl
 obal recognition as the “father of Romanian sculpture”\, his presence beca
 me increasingly overwhelming. His name grew in prominence not only in the 
 cultural sphere but also spread uncontrollably throughout public space. Mi
 niature versions of the Endless Column\, Table of Silence and Gate of the 
 Kiss began appearing in all kinds of settings\, stripping these key landma
 rks of their artistic legacy and meaning and triggering an invasion of kit
 sch. This phenomenon extended to the use of his best-known forms as decora
 tions on an endless variety of products\, from notebook or book covers to 
 cigarette packets.\nStarting with the 1990s\, the phenomenon of Brâncușima
 nia—unaffected and even intensified by the change of political regime—was 
 documented\, analysed and brought into question by artists such as Iosif K
 iraly\, Teodor Graur\, Dan Perjovschi and Mircea Cantor. Curated by Judit 
 Balint and Erwin Kessler\, the exhibition “Brâncuși. The Syndrome” examine
 s and juxtaposes these diverse discourses\, both artistic and beyond the r
 ealm of art\, that developed around Brâncuși’s name and work. It offers a 
 complex picture of his influence on Romania’s social and cultural landscap
 e and collective imagination.\nThe exhibition will be open to visitors fro
 m 12 June 2026 to 14 March 2027 at the National Museum of Art of Romania (
 MNAR) on the ground floor of the National Gallery.\nOfficial Partner: Banc
