the sculptures of le corbusier

 
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.
