Looking at Photography in a Painterly Way
The La Corbusier Home was located in a small residential neighborhood. It began our walkthrough of modern architecture, beginning with Art Nouveau and moving toward contemporary structures.
Our assignment prompt was to look at Corbusier's painting which was hanging within the house. Initially I looked at the assignment in the wrong way. The prompt was to photograph in a way that reference the painting as a whole, however I photographed in a way that referenced PARTS of Corbusier's painting. Even though the prompt wasn't followed the correct way I do feel like the photographs that came out of the assignment are valid representations of the way the architecture of the home allowed light to interact so successfully with its furnishings and interior space. It still also allows many similarities to be revealed between Corbusier as the architect and Corbusier as the painter.
The following photographs are sometimes simplistic but are relevant to the aforementioned painting by the colors they include, the shapes they draw attention to and the intersection of line and shape.
