In an exhibition in which the relationship between sculpture and photography is the central theme, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen brings together works by three international artists who have been decisive for the development of artistic practice in the 20th century: Medardo Rosso (1858-1928), Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) and Man Ray (1890-1976).

About ninety sculptures and photographs by these three artist will come to Rotterdam from different international collections, since there are only a few works included in Dutch collections.

The exhibition explores how Rosso, Brancusi and Man Ray conceived the photographic medium as a tool to achieve their sculptural principles, rather than a merely reportorial activity, and highlights some unexpected similarities in the experimental and pioneristic researches of these three artists.
