The collaboration
In 1953 Le Corbusier meets Egidio and entrusts him with his ideas for sculpture in glass. Together they make the Bucranium: an organic form that recalls objects “of poetic reaction”, roots, bones and pebbles, in glass on a wooden base, enclosed in a plexiglass case. In it one reads the tension between organic matter, which changes, and the space around it, which stays still.
They also make Venice, in metal, plexiglass and glass: an interpretation of the lagoon city.
