Summary/Abstract: One of the first modern art collections in Romania was that of collector Alexandru Bogdan-Pitești, a complex and nonconformist figure in early 20th-century Romanian culture, who consistently supported and promoted artists through patronage projects and initiatives. Sculptor Constantin Brâncuși was among the artists who benefited from the collector's admiration and understanding at a time when his innovative aesthetic vision was met with limited reception from critics and the general public.
