This rare Le Corbusier lithograph depicts the Modulor Man, a figure with an important role in the artist’s architectural work. Following in the footsteps of Pythagoras and Da Vinci he devised the anthropometric scale we see here. Choosing a male figure, arm raised, as the standard of measurement – representing the ‘everyman’. Signed in the stone with an intriguing annotation by the artist, ‘Friend of Modular, search by yourself, invent, discover… Bring your inventions, they will be useful. Thank you friend, Le Corbusier.’
