Fact check: Is there a brutalist artist, possibly from around the 19th century, who is known for arts of simplistic, yet imposing buildings from a worm’s-eye view?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, there is no evidence of a brutalist artist from the 19th century who created imposing buildings from a worm's-eye view. All sources consistently indicate that Brutalist architecture emerged in the mid-20th century, not the 19th century ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}.

The analyses reveal that Le Corbusier, a Swiss-French architect active in the 20th century, is considered a pioneer of modern architecture and a key figure in the development of Brutalism ^{[5] [1]}. Other notable 20th-century architects associated with the movement include Marcel Breuer and Ernő Goldfinger ^[6]. The architectural style is characterized by the use of raw concrete and emphasis on functionality ^[1].

Several sources reference the recent film "The Brutalist," which features a fictional architect László Tóth who brings a unique building style to America, but this character and the architectural style depicted are set in the mid-20th century, not the 19th ^{[7] [2] [6] [4]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question appears to conflate different architectural movements and time periods. Brutalist architecture specifically emerged in the post-war period ^[6], making it impossible for a 19th-century artist to work in this style.

The question might be confusing Brutalism with other architectural movements that did exist in the 19th century, such as:

• Neoclassical architecture with imposing structures
• Industrial architecture with stark, functional designs
• Gothic Revival movements that emphasized dramatic perspectives

The analyses do not explore whether there were 19th-century artists who depicted buildings from dramatic low angles (worm's-eye view), which could be a separate artistic technique independent of the Brutalist movement itself.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains a fundamental chronological error by suggesting Brutalist architecture existed in the 19th century. This represents either:

• Historical confusion about when architectural movements emerged
• Conflation of different artistic styles and time periods
• Misunderstanding of the term "Brutalist" and its specific historical context

The question's premise is factually incorrect based on all available analyses, which unanimously place Brutalism's origins in the mid-20th century ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}. This type of chronological misattribution could perpetuate historical inaccuracies about architectural movements and their development.
