Klip and Corb on the Road

e Dual Diaries and Legacies of August Klipstein and Le Corbusier on their Eastern Journey, 1911

Ivan Žaknić

In 1911, Charles-Eduoard Jenneret (Le Corbusier, 1887–1965) embarked on a grand tour of Eastern Europe, Turkey, and the Balkans with his friend, August Klipstein (1885–1951). Both young men kept detailed notebooks throughout their journey with drawings, sketches, and photographs created en route. While Le Corbusier’s notebooks were published in 1966 as Journey to the East and attained wide renown, Klipstein’s record of their travels has remained relatively unknown. And yet two witnesses to the same events should provoke anyone familiar with Le Corbusier to seek the other side of the coin.

In Klip and Corb on the Road, Ivan Žaknić brings the notebooks together for the rst time to explore the fruitful creative symbiosis of this friendship. Richly illustrated, the book includes copious previously unpublished material, including the complete text of Klipstein’s diary and the friends’ correspondence.
