Abstract

E.1027 war das Haus, das die irische Architektin und Designerin Eileen Gray für sich und ihren jungen Geliebten, den rumänischen Architekten Jean Badovici, 1929 plante und erbaute. Sie entwickelte auch das Mobiliar für das Sommerhaus - der Beistelltisch E.1027 ist heute ein Designklassiker. Die Villa gilt mit ihrer Eleganz und den nautischen Bezügen als Kleinod der Moderne. Auf Einladung Badovicis schuf Freund und Nachbar Le Corbusier dort 1945 acht großformatige Wandgemälde - gegen den Willen der Hausherrin, die allerdings zu dem Zeitpunkt das Haus bereits für immer verlassen hatte. Die Publikation stellt die Gemälde vor und erzählt die ungewöhnliche Geschichte. Das Haus an der Côte d'Azur ist seit aufwendigen Sanierungsmaßnahmen seit 2021 wieder für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich. Die faszinierenden Fotografien von Manuel Bougot fangen die besondere Atmosphäre der Villa ein Die weniger bekannte Malerei Le Corbusiers war prägend für seine lebenslange Beschäftigung mit der Polychromie Nach der aufwendigen Sanierung bis 2021 ist die Villa E1027, ebenso wie das Cabanon, wieder zugänglich 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

Abstract

"Eileen Gray (1878-1976) was a versatile designer and architect who navigated numerous literary and artistic circles over the course of her life. This handsome volume chronicles Gray's career as a designer, architect, painter, and photographer. The book's essays, featuring copious new research, offer in-depth analysis of more than 50 individual designs and architectural projects, accompanied by both period and new photographs. Born in Ireland and educated in London, Gray proceeded to Paris where she opened a textile studio, studied the Japanese craft of lacquer that would become a primary technique in her design work, and owned and directed the influential gallery and store known as "Jean Désert." Gray struggled for acceptance as a largely self-taught woman in male-dominated professions. Although she is now best known for her furniture, lighting, and carpets, she dedicated herself to many architectural and interior projects that were both personal and socially driven, including the Villa E 1027, the iconic modern house designed with Jean Badovici, as well as economical and demountable projects, such as the Camping Tent"--Provided by publisher.
