In 1937, Le Corbusier discovered the place and inspired by its genius, he created a total of eight large-format wall paintings there. Some complemented the building congenially, while others set counterpoints and aggravated Gray to no end. This book by the well-known architectural historian Tim Benton documents Le Corbusier's artwork at this special place.Today, the elegant house in Roquebrune-Cap-Mar- tin in southern France is an icon of modernism.
