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, numbered in pencil, - Published by Atelier Crommelynck, Paris // Le Corbusier’s Unité 2 (1963-1965) is a limited-edition etching and aquatint printed on BFK Rives paper. The composition is divided into colorful segments, featuring abstracted figures with geometric and organic forms. The piece is marked by bold black lines that outline stylized shapes, including a head with expressive eyes and a curved body, blending with elements of machinery or tools. The contrasting hues of pink, yellow, red, and blue create a vibrant energy, while the duality of smooth and angular forms suggests an interaction between human and mechanical worlds. This work reflects Le Corbusier’s ongoing exploration of how human life integrates with architecture and modern industry, a key theme in his art 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.
