    Reminds one of the power of sculpture
    Part of the suite of sculptures that mean a visitor must come to what is otherwise an ordinary Romanian town. The kiss motif was repeated by Brancusi several times, but this is amongst the simplest and most affecting. It forms the gate to the avenue of seats with the table of silence in the distance. Made of travertine, one hopes it will last for centuries as it must be vunerable to acid pollution in the rain.

    Powerful art
    We tried to peacefully visit the park where the most iconic sculptures of Brâncuși are displayed. Unfortunately we could not find a parking place in the area in a decent amount of time and we had to leave. Still, just slowly passing by this impressive piece of art gives you a feeling of the sculptor's greatness and powerful ability to extract the beauty from the simplest lines. I believe all Brâncuși's art needs to be enjoyed in tranquility.
