Haute Cour à Chandigarh. 1955/printed later. Gelatin silver print. 30,5 x 28,2 cm (40,2 x 30,2 cm). Signed in pencil on verso.

Lucien Hervé's photographs of Chandigarh epitomize the harmonious dance between light and form, capturing Le Corbusier's modernist architecture with striking clarity and dynamism. Through his lens, the city's geometric shapes and bold lines emerge as sculptural compositions, revealing the beauty and power of human-made structures in dialogue with their surroundings. Another print of this image is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. – Minimal pressure mark on upper margin of print, some traces of previous mounting, otherwise in very good condition.
