Totem; Portrait; Modular; Unité: two plates; and Don Quijote
These works on paper showcase Le Corbusier's versatility as a visual artist beyond his celebrated architectural practice, featuring two etchings with aquatint alongside four lithographs that demonstrate his distinctive graphic sensibility. The etchings, published by A. C. Mazo & Cie. in Paris, exist in carefully defined limited editions, with the colour aquatint version numbered IV/XXX and the work without colours numbered IX/X, both denoted in Roman numerals. Spanning subjects from portraiture to his revolutionary Modular system and the iconic Unité d'Habitation, the works collectively reflect Le Corbusier's lifelong engagement with proportion, form, and humanist ideals.
