L'Esprit Nouveau

L'Esprit Nouveau was a modernist art and design movement founded by architect Le Corbusier and painter Amédée Ozenfant in 1920. It aimed to promote a new aesthetic that emphasized simplicity, functionalism, and a break from traditional styles, reflecting the spirit of progress and modern life. The movement encouraged clean lines, geometric forms, and a unified approach to architecture, sculpture, and interior design, advocating for art that served practical purposes while also embodying a sense of harmony and clarity. Overall, L'Esprit Nouveau sought to transform visual culture in line with contemporary technological and social changes.
