Intussen, in het leven van Constantin Brancusi
Het hele leven1926–1928
Brancusi v. United States: a bird is a work of art
During the trip United States customs officials detain a bronze “Bird in Space”, classify it as an article of metal and impose the tariff applied to manufactured objects. The case “Brancusi v. United States” ends in 1928 with the sculpture being accepted as a work of art.
1929
A portrait of James Joyce for the Black Sun Press
In 1929 Harry and Caresse Crosby commission portraits of James Joyce from Brâncuși for the limited edition of “Tales Told of Shem and Shaun”, published by the Black Sun Press. He makes profile and frontal drawings and a composition formed from a spiral and vertical lines, which Caresse selects for the frontispiece: the book calls it “Portrait of the Author”, while Brâncuși uses the title “Symbol of James Joyce”.
1931–1934
Vera Moore: a relationship and the birth of a son, John
In 1931 Brâncuși meets the New Zealand pianist Vera Moore through the collector and curator Jim Ede, and they begin a relationship. John Moore is born in 1934; Brâncuși does not legally acknowledge him as his son.
