NUMBER 85 OF 250 COPIES signed by Le Corbusier in a total edition of 270 copies. An incomplete set comprising just 5 of the bold colour lithographs. Tériade was one of a number who valued Le Corbusier as much as an artist as an architect. Together they planned a book, like Matisse's Jazz, which presented a harmony of large, round manuscript writing with illustrations bold both in form and colour.
