Original lithograph by Le Corbusier, the open hand, a symbol of reconcilliation, open to receive and to give, is a recurring motif in Le Corbusier's work. Many sculptures were erected of this optimistic design, the largest being a public monument in the Indian city of Chardigarh. Le Corbusier's innovative philosophy of design placed emphasis on the Golden Ratio to achieve harmony of proportion, which can be observed in this composition.
