L'Esprit Nouveau
Currently at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art until August 5, the show "L'Esprit Nouveau: Purism in Paris, 1918-1925", dedicated to the cultural and artistic movement that characterized the early post-war period following the explosion of the Historical Avantgardes. Centred in particular on the key personality of the movement, Le Corbusier, the show retraces the main themes of the birth of the Modern Movement in architecture and its applications and influences also in the artistic field through the work of Fernand Leger. Among the works exhibited - historical texts, magazines, original drawings and illustrations - also the reconstruction, on the original scale, of a symbolic work of Le Corbusier, the Pavillion de l'Esprit Nouveau, built in 1925 for the 1925 Paris Expo of Decorative Arts.
