I picked a great book up while I was in
Iceland,
"Le Corbusier, Savina: Sculptures et Dessins".
It's a great book of sculptures that
I had never seen before.
The deal is that Corbu would sketch
a sculpture, and then Joseph would carve it for him.
Corbu would then come back in and
paint them sometimes.
I particularly like the painted ones.
