Le Corbusier podcast
This podcast is part of Watson Conversations, a growing collection of podcasts produced by Wheaton students as part of Art History 240: Art of the Avant-Gardes, 1900-1945: France, Germany, Italy and Russia.
Le Corbusier, Eve no. 11 and the Snake no. 15 from the Unité Series, 1953
Gift of Dr. and Mrs. Mary L. Kozol (Ruth Massell, Class of 1925).
Betsy Cronin ’11 and Alexandra Barie ’13 describe Le Corbusier’s combination of sensuous, organic forms with a rigid sense of architectural structure, in two prints from his Unité series. They read individual elements as “rooms arranged in a building,” and the prints together “as a kind of sketchbook” for Le Corbusier’s architectural designs.
