Le Corbusier’s Unité 16, etching and aquatint, 1963-1965. Abstract shapes with bold lines and colors of pink, yellow, blue, and brown.

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.) - Signed and numbered in pencil, from the edition of 130 pc + 30 in Roman numerals, published by Atelier Crommelynck, Paris // Le Corbusier’s Unité 16 (1963-1965) is a limited-edition etching and aquatint printed on BFK Rives paper. This vibrant composition features an abstract arrangement of shapes and forms, using bold lines and a striking color palette of pink, yellow, blue, and brown. Each section of the piece seems to represent a different element or object, rendered with Le Corbusier’s characteristic geometric abstraction. The juxtaposition of fluid organic shapes with angular, more mechanical ones creates a sense of dynamic tension. The layered forms, highlighted by textured colors, evoke ideas of construction and deconstruction, a recurring theme in Le Corbusier’s exploration of the relationship between nature and architecture.

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.
