About this Item

Originally published in 1923, this is the Second Revised Edition of 1924. A Near Fine copy of the original textblock, in a custom marbled paper rebinding. Text is clean and unmarked. 243pp. with many illustrations in black and white. Dedicated to A. Amedee Ozenfant, the extent of whose contribution(s) to the work have been a matter of dispute from the date of its publication. Consists of seven essays which originally appeared in the periodical L'Esprit Nouveau beginning in 1921. An early manifesto of sorts, repudiating prevailing design modes, in favor of what would come to be called the emerging International Style, of which Corbu would be a major leading figure. Very uncommon in any condition. Q13445.
