LE CORBUSIER 1920: Premiers tableaux.
Lithograph, 1957-60. 425x520 mm; 16 3/4x20 1/2 inches, full margins. An artist's proof, aside from the published edition of 125 with inverted inks. Signed and inscribed "epreuve d'artiste" in pencil, lower margin. Printed and published by Mourlot, Paris. From Petite 'Confidences'. A very good impression.
Swiss art patron Heidi Weber, originally encouraged Le Corbusier (1887-1965) to explore printmaking. The artist started to work with the printer Fernand Mourlot in the spring of 1960. During his work on Petite 'Confidences', Le Corbusier invented a new printmaking technique which he called Rhodoid. He etched lines on top of thick acetate film covered in ink to prepare it to be printed. Weber 47.
