“I was dreaming (first version)” is an artwork created by the artist Le Corbusier in the year 1953. Reflecting influences from both Cubism and Surrealism, this symbolic painting displays a distinctive style representative of these movements.
The artwork features a combination of abstract forms and vivid colors, blending blues, greens, and reds. The composition appears to illustrate human-like and bird-like figures intertwined in a dreamlike state. The bold use of lines and contrasting patterns adds depth and dimension, while the shapes suggest a fluid, almost ethereal quality. The surreal nature of the artwork invites multiple interpretations, encouraging viewers to engage with it imaginatively. The strokes and the incorporation of different textures further emphasize the symbolic essence that Le Corbusier aimed to convey.
