Book excerpt: This text presents a view of 20th-century sculptor Constantin Brancusi, as a photographer. Brancusi experimented widely with the photographic medium throughout his career. He created compositions of his own sculpture, using the camera to provide a record of his art, to re-examine his sculptures from an objective viewpoint, and to sell and publicise his work. This book contains a selection of these works, together with a number of self-portraits and private views of Brancusi's studio. Elizabeth A. Brown provides a commentary examining in detail his photographs and shows how they may contribute to a fuller understanding of Brancusi's work as a whole, and of the man himself.

Book excerpt: How does photography shape the way we see sculpture? In David Smith in Two Dimensions, Sarah Hamill broaches this question through an in-depth consideration of the photography of American sculptor David Smith (1906-1965). Smith was a modernist known for radically shifting the terms of sculpture, a medium traditionally defined by casting, modeling, and carving. He was the first to use industrial welding as a sustained technique for large-scale sculpture, influencing a generation of minimalists to come. What is less known about Smith is his use of the camera to document his own sculptures as well as everyday objects, spaces, and bodies. His photographs of his sculptures were published in countless exhibition catalogs, journals, and newspapers, often as anonymous illustrations. Far from being neutral images, these photographs direct a pictorial encounter with spatial form and structure the public display of his work. David Smith in Two Dimensions looks at the sculptor's adoption of unconventional backdrops, alternative vantage points, and unusual lighting effects and exposures to show how he used photography to dramatize and distance objects. This comprehensive and penetrating account also introduces Smith's expansive archive of copy prints, slides, and negatives, many of which are seen here for the first time. Hamill proposes a new understanding of Smith's sculpture through photography, exploring issues that are in turn vital to discourses of modern sculpture, sculptural aesthetics, and postwar art. In Smith's photography, we see an artist moving fluidly between media to define what a sculptural object was and how it would be encountered publicly."
