Auguste Merle was an Art Brut artist living in France at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. His works depict imaginary buildings with meticulous detailing, using graphite on notebook paper.
The rigorous yet inventive forms are depicted in 90-degree axonometric projections, resonating with the paintings of Fernand Léger, Le Corbusier, with the architectural drawings of John Hejduk, and more recently, with the ones in San Rocco Magazine. These drawings are selected from the wonderful site of the “Collection de l’Art Brut in Lausanne“.
