Synopsis "Painter Le Corbusier: Eileen Gray's Villa E 1027 and Le Cabanon"
In 1929, Eileen Graydesigned Villa E 1027 for herselfand her youthful partner Jean Badovici, but only lived therefor three years. Today, the elegant house in Roquebrune-Cap-Mar- tin insouthern France is an icon of modernism. In 1937, Le Corbusier discovered theplace and the "Maison en Bord de Mer". Inspired by the genius of the placeand the light on the Côte d'Azur, hecreated a total of eight large-format wall paintings there in 1938 and 1939onwards, some of which complement the building congenially, while others setcounterpoints. In 1952, he built his Cabanon nearby and decorated it withmurals as well. The book by the well-known architectural historian Tim Bentondocuments Le Corbusier's artwork at this special place, explores itscontroversies, and places it in his overall oeuvre.
