Origin of the homage to Constantin Brancusi

I was on a business trip (investigating Romanian sugar beet factories) one year after the fall of  Nicolae Ceaușescu being driven through the heavily forested Carpathian mountains

The driver asked if I might be interested in hunting some wild boar, which roam the forest.
I declined
Bird In Space

A little further along the road the car stopped in what appeared to be the middle of nowhere. 

“Why have we stopped?” asked my business colleague.

“Here is the sculpture park of the most famous Romanian artist”

“And who might that be?” We asked

“Constantin Brancusi!” came the reply

At that time I was none the wiser … I am now …

And sure enough … there in the depths of the Carpathian Mountains … somewhat overgrown … surrounded by (I hope, appreciative) wild boar … are arranged some of the wonderful external works of Romania’s most celebrated artist
