ABSTRACT

The objective of this study is to explore the human concept in Le Corbusier’s paintings, with the aim of revealing how his artistic vision extends beyond mere machine aesthetics and functionalism and develops centered on the human concept. The research is divided into two aspects: the value and formal aspects. The value aspects examine “rational mind,” “scale of proportion,” and “the hierarchy of formal values,” while the formal aspects investigate the relationship between the “invariables” in his paintings and the human concept, as well as the relationship between machine aesthetics and the human concept in order to reveal a transformation from non-organic (objects) to organic (human). The results of the study show that Le Corbusier’s paintings progress from simple geometric forms to an organic fusion of lines extracted as the essence of form. This process involves “the humanization of space” and “the personification of objects,” leading to an integration of objects and humans. This result suggests that what appeared as contradictory aspects of his machine aesthetics and human concept can be understood as one developmental aspect within a broader artistic view.
