1473 RO - Brâncuși Monumental Ensemble of Târgu Jiu (2024)

 Brâncuși Monumental Ensemble of Târgu Jiu

Austere, contemplative, yet accessible, the monumental ensemble of Târgu Jiu was created in 1937-1938 by Constantin Brâncuși, an influential pioneer of abstract sculpture, to commemorate those who died defending the city during the First World War. Located in two parks connected by the narrow Avenue of Heroes, the property includes the monumental ensemble of sculptural installations and the pre-existing Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, located on the axis. The remarkable fusion of abstract sculpture, landscape architecture, engineering, and urban planning conceived by Constantin Brâncuși goes far beyond the local wartime episode to offer an original vision of the human condition.

特尔古日乌的布朗库西组雕

特尔古日乌(Târgu Jiu)组雕庄严、沉静,却又平易近人。1937至1938年间,著名抽象雕塑先驱康斯坦丁·布朗库西(Constantin Brâncuși)创作了这组雕塑,以纪念在第一次世界大战中为保卫特尔古日乌城而牺牲的烈士。该遗产位于由狭窄的英雄大道连接的两座公园内,包括雕塑装置组,和中轴线上原有的圣使徒皮特和保罗教堂。布朗库西将抽象雕塑、景观设计、工程学及城市规划巧妙融合,使这组艺术作品远远超越当地战争纪念意义,而为观察人类生存状态提供了独特视角。
