L'Esprit Nouveau No 1

L'Esprit Nouveau (transl. The New Spirit) was a magazine founded by architect Le Corbusier, poet Paul Dermée, and painter Amédée Ozenfant in 1920.[1] The publication addressed a wide range of artistic disciplines including literature, visual arts, and architecture.[2]

The articles written by Le Corbusier for L'Esprit Nouveau comprise a number of those appearing in his seminal 1923 book Toward an Architecture.[3]

L'Esprit Nouveau remained in publication until 1925, publishing a total of 28 editions.[4]
