CONSTANTIN BRANCUSI & ALBERTO GIACOMETTI

When Sam and I were in paris what seems like an enternity ago, we went to see Constantin Brancusi's exhibition at the Pompidou. He is a guy who knew how to sculpt in wood.

Whilst we were there we also saw a Alberto Giacometti retrospective. Amazing to see so many peices in the one place. Whilst not as well known for his works in wood they are still wonderful.
