Le Corbusier (1887–1965) was not only a master of modern architecture but also a prolific artist. This exhibition volume presents his paintings, sculptures, and tapestries from the 1930s onward, highlighting his concept of a “synthesis of the arts”—the unity of art, architecture, and design. It also explores resonances between his work and that of contemporaries such as Fernand Léger, Jean Arp, and Wassily Kandinsky, while examining Le Corbusier’s belief that the modern era would usher in a “final era of harmony.”
This publication offers an innovative overview of one of the most creative minds of the 20th century.
