artistic universality, chargers go universal,

Le Corbusier 'Profil', 1949
Oil on canvas, 146 x 114 cm
Reference: Collection Heidi Weber
At the heart of Le Corbusier's artistic universality lays the fact, that he did not give priority to any one of the art crafts he embraced. His paintings, sculptures, drawings, murals and lithographs were as important for him as his architectural work.
Heidi Weber is a worldwide reknown expert for L-C original art works. She is also a leading consultant for museums and collectors.



Though its fame as an icon of twentieth-century literature rests primarily on the brilliance of its narrative technique and the impressionistic beauty of its prose, To the Lighthouse is above all the story of a quest, and as such it possesses a brave and magical universality. Observed across the years at their vacation house facing the gales of the North Atlantic, Mrs. Ramsay and her family seek to recapture meaning from the flux of things and the passage of time. Though it is the death of Mrs. Ramsay on which the novel turns, her presence pervades every page in a poetic evocation of loss and memory that is also a celebration of domestic life and its most intimate details. Virginia Woolf’s great book enacts a powerful allegory of the creative consciousness and its momentary triumphs over fleeting material life.
