Art Appreciation
I've been waiting too long to blog about Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, also known as Le Corbusier. I really don't know exactly why I haven't been aggressive in including Le Corbusier in my blog.
Le Corbusier is best known for his contribution as an architect. But he also had a passion for painting.
Born in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland in 1887, Le Corbusier moved to Paris and became a French citizen in 1930. There he with Amédée Ozenfant created Purism, a variant of Cubism.
You can see more of his work HERE.
