I love Google for honoring
Brancusi's 135th birthday today.
He is one of my favorite sculptors.
Despite his Romanian origins,
he worked and lived in Paris, France
most of his life.
His posse included other Modern artists like
Auguste Rodin, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp,
Man Ray, and Henri Rousseau.
His major contribution to the art world
was introducing abstraction to sculpture.
Check out some of my favorites
of his GORGEOUS pieces:
Sleeping Muse, 1909-10

I saw the google icon today also and thought it was so cool! I love seeing all of the different things they do with their name. If you have time to read you might like the book out there about how Goggle got start and their whole empire now. Doesn't sound very interesting but it really is. I can't remember the name of the book right now but I could look it up for you if you want.
cool, i would love reading that -- i bet it is fascinating!
