Le Corbusier and the Power of Photography
“Analyzes Corb as a scene-setter, from Chandigarh in India to Villa Savoye in France.” (Surface)“Encompass[es] the way many ways [Le Corbusier] engaged with photography throughout his lifetime. The graphic design is bright and energetic; there is plenty of text, but it is primarily a book of images.” (Aperture)“Do we really need another book about [Le Corbusier]? It turns out we do, for this one takes a quite unusual view of the master’s work, examining the close relationship between his architecture and another art form that was developing alongside: photography.” (Interior Design)“[This book] reveals that the architect was an enthusiastic cameraman himself. . . . Includes a sumptuous portfolio of contemporary images of Le Corbusier’s most famous buildings.” (Elle Decor)“Superb and scholarly.” (The Wall Street Journal)“[An] impressive collection of images and analysis.” (Publishers Weekly)
