Question

After a sculpture of one of these animals was blown up by a terrorist group, Fernando Botero donated an exact copy and named it “of peace.” They’re not fish, but Paul Klee (“clay”) depicted a group of these animals with long skinny bodies and stuck out tongues. A trio of these animals are shown above a small lake while below them their reflections produce a double-image of elephants in a work by Salvador Dalí. (10[1])A series depicting these animals (-5[1])was not considered art by the U.S. Customs (-5[1])as they were elongated streamline marble and bronze shapes. For 10 points, name these animals that Constantin Brâncuși (“bran-KOOSH”) sculpted in a series depicting their flight “in Space.” ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: birds [or obvious equivalents like avians; accept The Dove of Peace, Swans Reflecting Elephants, or Bird in Space]
