...symbol of fertility, and Adam as the product of his primitive tools, axed out of wood with a neck suggesting both a tree trunk and a wine press. In a narrow smoothly polished pebble, Brancusi sees the genesis of the fish form; expanded in his streamlined Fish, done in blue-grey marble, it becomes the prototype of all fish, hovering in space as if water were freshly washing past...
