“Taureau I” is an artwork created by Le Corbusier in 1961. The piece belongs to the art movements of Cubism and Surrealism, and it is classified as figurative in genre.
The artwork presents a complex and abstract representation, utilizing elements of Cubism with geometrical forms and fractured lines, combined with surrealist techniques. Dominant hues in the artwork include tones of beige, black, and white, with layered textures providing depth. The linear composition, composed of intersecting lines and shapes, forms an abstract figure reminiscent of a bull. The use of newspaper clippings as part of the collage adds an additional layer of meaning and visual interest to the piece. This intricate combination of shapes, lines, and mixed media exemplifies Le Corbusier’s innovative approach to art, blending architectural precision with expressive creativity.
