Beaux Arts Magazine
To mark the 60th anniversary of Le Corbusier’s death (1965–2025), Beaux Arts magazine has published a special issue dedicated to the architect, artist and theorist who left an indelible mark on the 20th century.
Le Corbusier, 1887–1965 offers a critical perspective on controversies and contentious issues by giving a voice to historians.
This issue provides a well-researched examination of his work and thinking, exploring his history, notably through:
— the journey of a man with multiple identities,
— the defining moments of a life shaped by his century,
— his major creative periods, from Purism to architectural sculpture,
— furniture, polychromy and his relationship with nature,
— major experiments in collective housing and urban planning.
It presents Le Corbusier’s legacy as seen by historians, photographers, architects and contemporary artists, and revisits the essential role of the Le Corbusier Foundation in the conservation, study and transmission of this major body of work.
An ideal special edition for understanding the historical, artistic and intellectual significance of Le Corbusier, and appreciating the enduring relevance of his thinking. Available at the Le Corbusier Foundation, at Le Corbusier sites open to visitors, in bookshops and by order.
