Catalogue Note
Eric Mouchet hat die Echtheit dieser Arbeit bestätigt.
In diesem Werk, welches Charles-Edouard Jeanneret 20 Jahre nach der Kreation seines Pseudonyms Le Corbusier angefertigt hat, ist deutlich zu erkennen, wie meisterhaft er mit Farbe und Komposition umgehen konnte. Als Künstler und Architekt gleichermassen begabt waren seine Arbeiten stets dynamisch, gewagt und ausdrucksstark.
This bold work – completed twenty years after Charles-Edouard Jeanneret created his pseudonym – tangibly illustrates Le Corbusier’s masterful use of colour and composition. He was equally talented as an artist and architect and his works were invariably dynamic, daring, and expressive.
