About this work

You see twenty black-and-white prints lined up like pages from a notebook—thick lines, sharp angles, and scribbly patches that look like city plans or doodles. Le Corbusier was famous for designing buildings, but these prints show his rough, playful side. He scratched the plates by hand, letting mistakes stay. The marks feel quick, almost like he was thinking out loud. If you like how simple lines can feel alive, look up the technique called drypoint.
