L'Esprit Nouveau: Purism in Paris, 1918-1925
ArtForum, Jan, 2001 by Mayer Rus
Los ANGELES COUNTY ART MUSEUM
In 1918, Charles-Edouard Jeanneret (aka Le Corbusier) and the decidedly lesser-known Amedee Ozenfant founded Purism, a movement in architecture and painting that emphasized the geometric order and clarity of urban industrial technology. The basic tenets of Purism were given eloquent expression in the Pavilion de l'Esprit Nouveau, a structure designed by Corbu for the 1925 Exposition des Arts-Decoratifs in Paris and partially reconstructed at LACMA for "Purism in Paris." More than sixty paintings and works on paper by Corbu, Ozenfant, and frequent collaborator Fernand Leger further illuminate the nascent stirrings of modernism.
