Following the Second World War, Le Corbusier endeavored to transcend his contemplative inquiries and embrace active participation. He conceived the 'Main Ouverte,' or 'Open Hand' – a symbolic embodiment of the ethos "to give and receive" that permeated all facets of his artistic output. Rich with openness and humility, this thematic thread underscored the moral imperative for custodians of knowledge to generously disseminate and perpetuate their wisdom. This profound concept found expression in various mediums, including painting and lithography, but notably culminated in the iconic sculpture situated in Chandigarh, India. A monumental embodiment of Le Corbusier's altruistic ideals, 'Main Ouverte' metamorphosed into a tangible symbol of his enduring message, embodying the spirit of selfless contribution and shared wisdom.
