Le Corbusier was one of the most productive artist of all times. When he past away on August 27th,1965 he left behind an OPUS of:

At the heart of Le Corbusier's artistic universality lays the fact, that he did not give priority to any one of the art crafts he embraced. His paintings, sculptures, drawings, murals and lithographs were as important for him as his architectural work.
Throughout his life Le Corbusier divided his daytime between painting and architecture. He thus created an artistic "oeuvre" which in his opinion was of equal value to his architectural achievements. In terms of the breadth of creativity he can be compared with the Italian Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. He became world famous as an architect and town planner. Parallel to his fame as an architect -in still labour- he also created an equally rich pictorial and sculptural "oeuvre" which will live on in the future. As it gets discovered and recognized it takes a more and more important place in art history.

L-C "There are no sculptors only, painters only, architects only. The plastic event fulfills itself in an overall form in duty of poetry."

"…in the future, at the schools Le Corbusier will be taught on the same level as Galilee, Descartes and Leonardo da Vinci. It will be discovered, that he was not only one of the great geniuses of world history, but also a creator in diverse activities and that he has also clearly marked a change in our civilisation...."
