Collage of Le Corbusier’s work : : by Dawn Christine, Architect Original Art by Le Corbusier

This is a collage of the Art and Architecture of Le Corbusier which I created in my Thesis research at NC State University. The piece of art I used is called Still Life with Various Objects 1923 and the building is Ronchamp Chapel. I learned his game and elevated the juxtapositions by creating a composition which cohesively reflects his art and architecture. Can you see the architectural elements? Can you distinguish between the elements from the painting and the photos of the building?

Le Corbusier states “observe the play of shadows, learn the game…Precise shadows, clear cut or dissolving. Projected shadows, sharp. Projected shadows, precisely delineated, but what enchanting arabesques and frets. Counterpoint and fugue. Great music. Try to look at the picture upside-down or sideways. You will discover the game.”
