LE CORBUSIER — NOMADIC MURALS
Le Corbusier
With his tapestries, Le Corbusier found a form of expression that allowed him to combine the themes of his paintings with the challenge of the wall surfaces of his buildings. Connecting his initial experiments from the 1930s with his major compositions after 1945, this exhibition gathers his drawings, cartoons, and a group of woven artworks. In this way, it covers the whole field of his imagination, from still lifes to the female figures that continued to inspire him.
- Jean-Louis Cohen, architectural historian and curator of Le Corbusier: An Atlas of Modern Landscapes at MoMA (2013).
Includes 'Walls of Wool', an essay by Jean-Louis Cohen.
