The material on display – from watercolours made from 1910 onwards to his ‘cubist’ paintings, his last works from 1956, the project to substitute a part of Paris with eighteen tower blocks and drawings for the Notre Dame du Haut chapel at Ronchamp – is taken from the archives of the Le Corbusier foundation in Paris and offers some unexpected comparisons and connections.
Art and architecture are closely woven together all through his life. for example, 1920 saw his meeting with painter Fernand Leger and 1922 his first ‘white box’ for living in, the Maison Citrohan. The exhibition is divided in two parts, one dedicated to his architecture, the other to his art leaving it to the viewer to make the relevant connections.
