THE FINE ARTS
TRAVEL SKETCHES
When Le Corbusier travelled, he always took
a notebook from his pocket in order to record something he had just thought
or seen. At these moments Le Corbusier draw as one would take notes, without
trying to make a pretty picture, simply to engrave into his memory some central
idea, to remember it and assimilate it. He often said "Don't take photographs,
draw; photography interferes with seeing, drawing etches into the mind."
Le Corbusier himself called this companion his "sketchbook". Seventy-three
notebooks, over four thousend pages, marking out the entire life of a great
universal man.
