dbo:abstract
  • Princesse X est une sculpture en bronze poli réalisée par Brancusi en 1916 se voulant être un portrait de la princesse Marie Bonaparte, mais suggérant pour beaucoup d’yeux la forme d'un phallus. La sculpture a été réalisée à partir de plâtres conçus l'année précédente. Du fait de sa forme suggestive, elle fut refusée au Salon d'Antin organisé par André Salmon en 1916 et au Salon des indépendants en 1920, et son auteur la conserva toute sa vie en sa possession. Elle est aujourd'hui conservée par le musée national d'Art moderne au centre Georges-Pompidou, à Paris. (fr)
  • Princess X is a sculpture by the artist Constantin Brâncuși depicting the Princess Marie Bonaparte, a psychoanalyst in her own right and great supporter of Freud. A polished bronze atop a limestone block stands 61.7 cm (2 ft 1⁄4 in) tall, the piece was created between 1915 and 1916, and is now part of the permanent collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The work was originally part of a "notorious scandal" when the Salon des Indépendants removed Princess X from display for its apparent obscene content, after some objected to the sculpture's phallic resemblance. Brâncuși was reportedly shocked and declared the incident a misunderstanding; he had created Princess X to evoke feminine desire and vanity. (en)
