Biographical History

Sculptor, critic. Born 1914.

From the description of Sidney Geist papers, 1938-1994. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 86132900

Sidney Geist (1914-2005), sculptor, writer and critic was born in Paterson, New Jersey. He was an apprentice to Paul Feine in Woodstock between 1931-1937, studied with William Zorach, Jose de Creeft and Ossip Zadkine in 1945-46. He taught at Brooklyn College, the University of California at Berkeley, and Southern Illinois University, among other institutions, and his sculpture was exhibited at galleries the world over.

Geist's writing focused on Constantin Brancusi, beginning with "Brancusi: A Study of the Sculpture" (New York: Grossman, 1967). Other writings include "Constantin Brancusi, 1876-1957" (New York: Guggenheim Foundation, 1969), "Brancusi: The Sculpture and the Drawings" (New York: Abrams, 1975) and "Brancusi: The Kiss" (New York: Harper, 1978).

Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) was one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century and an early pioneer of sculptural abstraction.
