This work, Guitare verticale (2ème version), dates to 1920, a period when the artist sought to strip away the decorative excesses of late Cubism in favour of clear, mathematical order and universal forms. The composition reflects the Purist aesthetic, which prioritised the representation of everyday objects through a lens of geometric precision and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting features a guitar, a recurring subject in the artist's oeuvre, rendered here as a series of flattened, interlocking planes. The forms are reduced to their essential components, creating a dialogue between the object and the space it occupies. The palette is restrained, relying on muted tones of grey, cream, and subtle red to maintain focus on the structural arrangement rather than atmospheric effects. By avoiding the fragmentation typical of earlier Cubist works, Le Corbusier presents a stable, harmonious image that aligns with his broader architectural philosophy of functionalism and rational design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this piece, the guitar is not merely a musical instrument but a vehicle for exploring spatial relationships. The vertical orientation of the guitar body contrasts with the horizontal planes of the table surface, creating a balanced tension within the frame. The application of paint is smooth and deliberate, reinforcing the sense of control and objectivity that defines the Purist approach. This work provides a clear view into the artist's methodology, where the principles of proportion and geometry are applied to the canvas with the same rigour as in his building designs. It is an example of the intellectual rigour that characterised the Parisian avant-garde during the post-war period, focusing on the clarity of form and the integrity of the picture plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/the-dining-table-jacques-villon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Dining Table by Jacques Villon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/products\/brown-still-life-georges-braque\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBrown Still Life by Georges Braque\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/fr\/collections\/le-corbusier\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLe Corbusier artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Le Corbusier","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131476181327,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131489124687,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131489157455,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131489190223,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131489222991,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131489255759,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131489288527,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131489321295,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131489354063,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131489386831,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131489419599,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131489452367,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Guitare-verticale-2-me-version-_Poster_CompositorV1_1792117452522.jpg?v=1792140313","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/fr\/products\/guitare-verticale-2eme-version-le-corbusier","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
