Brancusi 2 -- Masa Tacerii Table of Silence Mesa del silencio

Masa Tacerii este realizata din calcar, avand urmatoarele dimensiuni: diametrul tabliei – 2,15 metri cu o grosime de 0,43 m, iar piciorul are un diametru de 2 metri si o grosime de 0,45 m. Potrivit exegetilor artei brancusiene, Masa Tacerii reprezinta masa la care stau soldatii inaintea confruntarii cu inamicul. In acelasi timp, scaunele reprezinta timpul dispus in clepsidre. Unii fac o analogie cu Cina cea de Taina a lui Leonardo da Vinci.
Urmeaza apoi Aleea Scaunelor reprezentandu-i pe cei care participa fara sa se implice, asteptand finalul.

The Table of Silence (Masa Tacerii) is made in limestone and it has the following dimensions: panel diameter 2, 15 meters, thick 0,43 m and the leg is 2 m in diameter and 0,45 m thick. According to the exegetes of the Brancusian art, the Table of Silence represents the table around which gather the soldiers before confronting their enemy. At the same time, the chairs stand for the time disposed in hourglasses. Some make an analogy with The Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci.
Next comes the Chairs Alley representing those who participate without any implication, waiting for the end.
