THE FINE ARTS
OIL PAINTINGS
Le Corbusier painted his first oil painting in 1918 at the age of 31. During the first period of his creative work which lasted until 1927 and is known as Purism, objects of daily use such as glasses, bottles, books, pipes and violins were depicted exclusively. Up until 1927 the artist signed his pictures Jeanneret, after that date he used the pseudonym Le Corbusier.

After 1928 he introduced into his compositions the human form and began to represent women in a great number of his drawings and oil paintings, and subsequently this theme took up an important place in his creative work.

"Steer" is the dominant theme in the late work of Le Corbusier. In this periode he produce only a few oil paintings, and transferred his interests to other techniques such as collage, enamel painting, copper etching, lithography, and designs for tapestries and sculptures.
