The artwork titled “Etude quatre mains, lithographies” is a piece created by Le Corbusier in 1955. It belongs to the genres of sketch and study and is associated with the art movements of Cubism and Surrealism.
The artwork exhibits a complex and abstract composition characterized by angular and overlapping forms. Using a muted color palette with shades of black, ochre, and white, the piece captures a sense of dynamic interaction between its elements. The composition includes what appear to be stylized representations of hands and animal-like figures, rendered in a way that emphasizes linear abstraction and geometric configurations. The lines are bold and strategic, creating a harmonious yet disjointed visual experience that is typical of both Cubism and Surrealism. The artist’s signature “L-C 55” is visible in the lower right corner, indicating both the initials of Le Corbusier and the year of creation, 1955. The artwork stands as an intriguing study of form, space, and abstraction.
