Description
Le Corbusiers development was inextricably connected to the rise of the centurys popular visual medium: photography. This book traces the many ways in which he used photography to define and disseminate his work and ideas around the world.
Le Corbusier's development was inextricably connected to the rise of the century's most popular visual medium: photography. Marking the 125th anniversary of the architect's birth in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, this remarkable book traces the many ways in which he used photography to define and disseminate his work and ideas around the world. This unique portrait presents the architect and his work in six chapters, each by an expert in a particular facet of Le Corbusier's work: a photographic biography; his secret travel photographs; the ways in which the architect used photography for promotion; an examination of his approach to the printed page; an overview of his use of large-scale imagery in his buildings and exhibitions; and contemporary photographic interpretations of his work. Because Le Corbusier's buildings are usually shown in a documentary manner, the candid, personal, artistic and often unexpected images that appear in this volume offer new insights and ways to appreciate the facets of the man behind his works.
