Answer to Question 1

Brancusi wanted to give form to the essence of an object three-dimensionally and go beyond abstracted sculpture to invite viewer meditation.

Answer to Question 2

Responses will vary as this question requires personal subjective feedback. Students should mention that Van Gogh sought to express his personal feelings as he stood on the outskirts of a small village in France and looked up at the night sky. Van Gogh had become intrigued by the belief that people journeyed to a star after their death, and that there they continued their lives.
