Description
Summary:[EN] Le Corbusier lived in Vienna between the months of November 1907 and March 1908. During that period, he moved away from the romantic, but pessimistic and conservative thought of John Ruskin, to get closer to the liberal and optimistic ideas of late German Romanticism. Ruskin proclaimed the renunciation of progress and advocated in defense of the cultural values ??of the medieval past. The Germans Gottfried Semper and Richard Wagner, on the other hand, fought against conventions and looked to the future In the works of Wagner and other late Romantic composers, Le Corbusier was able to appreciate the characteristic artistic spirit of that period. After his experience in Austria and later in Germany, his artistic ideals came close to Semper's thought, even though it is likely that he never read his books, to a greater extent than Ruskin's, whom he did study in his youth.
