The Project

In partnership with the Fondation Le Corbusier, LITO Masters has expertly rendered three prints after paintings by the renowned architect and artist Le Corbusier, sold to benefit the foundation’s mission. All three paintings currently reside in the collection of the Fondation Le Corbusier. 

Created in 1968, the Fondation Le Corbusier was born out of the architect's desire to avoid the dispersion of his works and archives. It preserves a large collection of his original drawings, studies and plans, personal and professional archives, and visual arts. Its fundamental mission is to look after the architectural, artistic and literary work of Le Corbusier. It has initiated a program of actions to contribute to this knowledge: publications, exhibitions, and symposia. The foundation provides students and researchers with nearly 450,000 digitized archival documents in its research center, as well as welcoming visitors to the Foundation’s sites at Maison La Roche and Studio-apartment of le Corbusier in Paris and Villa “Le Lac” in Switzerland.

“It is through the practice of visual arts that I found the intellectual lifeblood of my urbanism and architecture.” 

— Le Corbusier

The Artist

Le Corbusier (b.1887, Switzerland – d.1965, France), born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, was a pioneering 20th-century architect and artist known for fusing functionality with beauty in modern architecture.

As of 1917, Le Corbusier lived and worked mainly in Paris, though his practice remained international throughout his career. He entered the world of painting after meeting artist Amédée Ozenfant. Together, they founded the Purist movement in 1918, which focused on still life: everyday objects rendered as geometric forms and flat planes of color. Le Corbusier considered painting a vital component of his aesthetic philosophy, writing, “I think that if any meaning is attributed to my work as an architect, it is to this secret labor that one must attribute its deeper value.”

Rejecting ornate styles like Art Nouveau, in his 1923 book Vers une architecture, he described houses as "machines for living in," advocating for utility, clarity, and harmony. He articulated his design philosophy—centered on volume, surface, and plan—through writings and his “five points of architecture,” exemplified in projects like Villa Savoye outside Paris and the Unité d’habitation in Marseille. Le Corbusier’s legacy lies in his belief that architecture shapes human experience through form and emotion.
