| In Brancusi’s studio, Stool was treated variously as a piece of furniture, as a base for small scale sculpture [see photograph La Sorcière (n. 44) in the Lower Gallery] and as a sculpture in its own right. Since the artist did not use a piece of distressed wood for this work but instead obtained a precious, exotic wood, one might speculate that Brancusi had a specific ambition with this Stool. This ambition remains a mystery, however, as there is no further information about his reason for using teak wood.
Although Stool is no longer to be sat upon, it is easy to see the work as a stylized representation of a functional piece of furniture. |
