In 1929, Eileen Gray designed Villa E 1027 for herself and her
youthful partner Jean Badovici, but only lived there for three
years. Today, the elegant house in Roquebrune-Cap-Mar- tin in
southern France is an icon of modernism. In 1937, Le Corbusier
discovered the place and the “Maison en Bord de Mer”. Inspired
by the genius of the place and the light on the Côte d'Azur, he
created a total of eight large-format wall paintings there in 1938
and 1939 onwards, some of which complement the building
congenially, while others set counterpoints. In 1952, he built his
Cabanon nearby and decorated it with murals as well. The book by
the well-known architectural historian Tim Benton documents Le
Corbusier's artwork at this special place, explores its
controversies, and places it in his overall oeuvre. The fascinating
photographs by Manuel Bougot capture the special atmosphere of the
villa Le Corbusier's painting is lesser known but was formative for
his lifelong preoccupation with polychromy After extensive
renovation work until 2021, E 1027, as well as the Cabanon, is open
to the public again
