Constantin Brâncuşi, Bird in Space (1927) Let’s end this year with some of my favourite pieces of art. Well, Brâncuşi, I’ve always been in love with you and at Guggenheim I used to spend my hours adoring you.  I salute you with a quote by your compatriot Emil Cioran (who I love as well) Better to be an animal than a man, an insect than an animal, a plant than an insect, and so on. Salvation? Whatever diminishes the kingdom of consciousness and compromises its supremacy. from The Trouble with Being Born (1973)
