Sinopsis
Le Corbusier (1887-1965) is one of the giants of twentieth-century architecture and design. Born Charles Edouard Jeanneret in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the self-named Le Corbusier was not only the creator of some of the most important and impressive buildings of the last century--Villa Savoye at Poissy, the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut at Ronchamp, the Parliament Building in Chandigarh, India--he was also an accomplished painter, sculptor, furniture designer, urbanist, and author. His work and social theories continue to be a dominant force in the world of architecture and design, while his elegant bearing, typified by his round black eyeglasses, which are still today a signature look for architects around the world, helped cast him as an heroic figure out of Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead.
Drawing on an array of archival material, including sketches, photographs, and correspondences, Le Corbusier Le Grand depicts in roughly chronological order not only the vast and varied output of Le Corbusier, but also the major events, people, and forces that shaped the life of an artist who continues to fascinate those in and outside the architectural world.
Biografía del autor:
Raquel GU dibuja desde que tuvo edad para sostener un lápiz y contar historias con dibujos es lo que más le gusta. Sus viñetas han aparecido en medios como Mongolia, Jot Down, El Jueves, Pikara, Principia o El matins de TV3, y es autora de cómic y libros de humor gráfico como La edad estupenda. En el 2021 recibió los premios del Diario de Avisos al mejor guión y dibujo de humor por su serie Las estupendas. De vez en cuando sale a correr por la montaña y es muy fan del salto innecesario.
