Constantin Brâncuși, The Sleeping Muse, 1910 Th Constantin Brâncuși, The Sleeping Muse, 1910 This gorgeous sculpture inspired a poem I wrote about fearing one's own power and beauty... Cast in Bronze Cast in bronze, so sturdy and strong but you won’t forgive – a tiny tear a single drop and you’ll blush and tarnish pull on a coat of furry moss In camouflage green, in olive and sage you’ll close like an deep-sea treasure chest... Read the rest of this piece – follow the link in my bio! This bronze sculpture was created by Constantin Brâncuși in 1910. It was originally carved from marble. Refining the sculpture, Brâncuși cast several of the sculptures in bronze, which are now in museums around the world. I saw it for the first time in Paris.
