• Resumen

  • Le Corbusier’s graphic output was prolific, consisting of hundreds of paintings, thousands of drawings andwatercolors, and scores of collages, lithographs, and murals throughout his career. By the late 1940s his double-nature asartist-architect emerged as a key component to his work, as he highlighted the correlations and correspondences thatinformed his creative endeavors. His post-war works, specifically his series of Taureaux paintings, reveal the development ofsuch themes as well as the transformation of earlier works as he turned to a mythologically-inspired vocabulary of totemicfigures and animals, developing a private cosmology of sun and moon, male and female, the machine and Mediterraneità.
