Suite of 3 lithographs (color titlepage, color text leaf, limitation) and 5 Rhodoid-gravures. 55.9x45.7 cm (22x18"). In publisher's pictorial linen-covered portfolio. Printed by Mourlot. No. 149 of an edition limited to 150 copies. Signed by Le Corbusier at limitation leaf. Arch-modernist Le Corbusier reveals himself as a 20th century Pantagruelist in this series devoted to Pantagruel's companion Panurge (Greek: πανοῦργος / panoûrgos meaning "knave, rogue"). From the Mourlot website translating the French on the text leaf, "This art folder, written in the most solid language, always under my hand, somewhere with its companion Don Quixote and Odysseus between the three continents united by the sea. This book of quintessence is incomplete human contact, spirit, body, health… This is why Panurge in those August days in 1961 was and became 'marionette-like'."
