Le Corbusier (1887 – 1965) was a Swiss‐ French architect, designer, and painter. Before Le Corbusier became one of the seminal architects of the last century, he was a painter and an engraver. Yet, while his reputation and renown as a revolutionary and influential architect is undisputed, his paintings, prints and drawings remained almost unknown until his 70th year, despite the fact that Le Corbusier insisted that painting and architecture were inextricably bound. Based on a series of pastels, the Unité aquatints celebrate organic arrangements simply and masterfully blend color, line and form. One of Le Corbusier's very last projects before his untimely death in 1965, the etchings were executed between 1963-1965. The portfolio was printed at the Atelier Crommelynck in 1965 and published in a single edition of 130.
