LE CORBUSIER: (1887-1965) - LE CORBUSIER: (1887-1965) Charles-Edouard Jeanneret. Swiss-French architect, designer and urban planner, a pioneer of modern architecture. An attractive original blue pencil drawing by Le Corbusier, unsigned, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d. The drawing, perhaps a preliminary sketch for a painting, is typical of the Purist style which Le Corbusier co-created with Amedee Ozenfant, in which objects are represented as basic forms without detail. To the verso appear twelve lines of ink text in the architect’s hand, in French, with numerous corrections, in full, ` Ceci est un galet - et non pas un plan de ville - avec son fleuve en dehors des murailles – l´artère impériale l´aurait traverse – doublant d´une volonté d´homme – le “chemin des ânes”, nonchalant – venu d´une province – et qui s´en v avers une – autre province. La Plage, inépuisablement offre des galets´ (Translation: ‘ This is a pebble - and not a city plan - with its river outside the walls - the imperial artery would have crossed it - doubling with a man's will - the ”donkey path”, lazy - coming from a province – and which goes to – another province. The Beach, inexhaustibly offers pebbles’). VG
