- Description
- The life and work of Le Corbusier (1887–1965)—one of Modernism’s most influential architects, urban planners, and theorists—come alive in this spectacular visual biography. Approximately 2,000 images and documents, many previously unpublished, feature his major built works, urban plans, paintings, publications, and furniture, while archival photographs and personal correspondence shed light on Le Corbusier’s relationships with the likes of Eileen Gray, Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso, and Jean Prouvé. With an essay by architectural historian and critic Jean-Louis Cohen and chapter introductions by Le Corbusier scholar Tim Benton, this book depicts in roughly chronological order not only the vast and varied output of one of the giants of twentieth-century architecture and design, but also the major events, people, and forces that shaped his life.
