In Le Corbusier: Secret Photographer Tim Benton reflects on the
famous architect's use of photography, starting with the young
Charles-Edouard Jeanneret's attempts to take professional
photographs during his travels in central Europe, the Balkans,
Turkey, Greece, and Italy. While Le Corbusier always claimed that
he saw no virtue in taking photographs, he actually bought three
cameras and took several hundred photographs between 1907 and 1917,
many of them of publishable quality. In 1936 he acquired a 16mm
movie camera and took 120 sequences of film and nearly 6,000
photographs with it. This previously unpublished material is the
basis for the publication. It reveals Le Corbusier to be a
sensitive and brilliant manipulator of a wide range of photographic
styles. Le Corbusier: Secret Photographer provides dramatically new
insights into Le Corbusier's visual imagination, his changing
attitudes towards nature and materials in the 1930s, and his
distrust of progress.
