Constantin Brâncuşi's Princess X (1916) [1] is a representation of a phallus, although the artist - similar to a ploy used by Magritte in The Treachery Of Images when he said: "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" - himself always contended that it depicted the "eternal feminine". Brancusi's contribution to the Paris Salon des Indépendants of 1920, it provoked a quite a furor and had to be withdrawn following the intervention of the police.
