About Les mains

“Les mains” is a sculpture created by the renowned artist Le Corbusier in 1956. This piece is a part of the Cubism art movement. The artwork portrays two stylized hands, each seemingly engaged in an interaction with a central spherical object. The hands are presented on a pedestal-like structure, emphasizing their form and the sense of balance within the composition. The sculpture, characterized by its smooth, geometric shapes and minimalist approach, is crafted in a manner that evokes contemplation of the hands’ roles and the inherent connection between them. The choice of wood as a medium lends a warmth and organic quality to the piece, aligning with the principles of Cubism in its abstract representation and deconstruction of natural forms.
