Le Corbusier, Jean Prouvé
Close at hand
An original exhibition that looks back at the complex and close relationship between these two great architects.
In the history of architecture in the XXᵉ century, Le Corbusier and Jean Prouvé have enjoyed recognition and celebration, and have been the subject of numerous studies and publications.
Their meeting was inevitable; their collaboration was real even if it appears, in comparison with their respective works, to be most modest. However, their relationship is one of mutual esteem, of complicit shared dabbling , of unsuccessful attempts and of achievements that one ends up forgetting because they belong so much to a known landscape.

La chronologie de leurs échanges, la présentation de leur travail en commun méritent d'être présentées ; leur vision personnelle du travail, de l'architecture et de l'industrie - ce qui les rapproche, ce qui les éloigne - se doit d'être précisée pour en évaluer la teneur et la portée.
Cette exposition est organisée par le Musée Pierre-Noël, avec le soutien de la Fondation Le Corbusier et du Musée National d'Art Moderne (Centre Pompidou/Centre de Création Industrielle).
