Ubu IV
1940 - 1944
"There are no sculptors only, no painters only, no architects only. The plastic incident fulfills itself in an overall form in the service of poetry." (le Corbusier)
Le Corbusier spent a large part of his time painting, devoting every morning to it and reserving his afternoons for architecture. Drawings, paintings, sculptures, prints, tapestries, frescoes ... His plastic work was extensive and protean but always served the same research. ln the 1940s he started making the Ubu series, for which he did the drawing and entrusted the 30 creation to sculptor Joseph Savina, as he did for all his sculptures.
