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 3 (1963-1965) is a limited-edition etching and aquatint in colors, printed on BFK Rives paper. The composition combines abstracted figures and organic shapes, dominated by earthy browns and vibrant greens. At the center of the artwork is a large, anthropomorphic figure in bright green with bird-like characteristics, including an outstretched wing. The adjacent brown form contrasts with the more vibrant colors, its softer, rounded lines providing a sense of grounding to the composition. The juxtaposition of structured, geometric elements and free-flowing, organic shapes reflects Le Corbusier’s fascination with the dialogue between nature and architecture, movement and stability. The muted pastel background of blue and lavender adds depth to the scene, enhancing the dynamic interaction of the figures.

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.
