Etching and aquatint in colours, on BFK Rives paper, with full margins. - This work is from the UNITÉ book, which began to be printed in 1963 and ended on October 15, 1965 in Paris. - I. 41.5 x 31.5 cm (16 3/8 x 12 3/8 in.) - S. 57 x 45.2 cm (22 1/2 x 17 3/4 in.) - Plate Signed and numbered in pencil - Published by Atelier Crommelynck, Paris // Le Corbusier’s Unité 13 (1963-1965) is a limited-edition etching and aquatint, printed on BFK Rives paper. Rendered in black and white, the composition features an abstract human figure with stylized facial features and geometric forms. The bold, continuous lines and minimalistic detailing reflect Le Corbusier’s focus on form and structure. The figure appears both mechanical and organic, as elements like the torso and arms blend into abstract shapes. Above the figure, a series of connected squares and curved lines suggest a deeper interaction between human form and architecture, a recurring theme in Le Corbusier’s work. The simplicity of the monochromatic palette enhances the structural essence of the piece.

What is Cubism?
Cubism is an art movement that aimed to depict multiple perspectives of objects or figures within a single picture. Artists Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso pioneered this style around 1907. The name Cubism emerged from their use of geometric shapes and outlines that often resembled cubes, breaking objects down into abstracted forms.
