Femme rouge et pelote verte
Painted in 1927, this vibrant oil on canvas by the celebrated Swiss-French architect and artist Le Corbusier depicts a female figure rendered in bold, flattened forms alongside a green ball, reflecting his Purist aesthetic philosophy. The composition employs a striking contrast between the warm red tones of the figure and the cool green of the geometric object, demonstrating his interest in harmonious color relationships and simplified form. As with much of Le Corbusier's fine art, the work bridges the worlds of architecture and painting, revealing his lifelong exploration of space, volume, and the poetic interplay of objects and the human form.
