The architect Le Corbusier (1887–1965) referred to his later attempts to connect painting and sculpture under the direction of architecture as "the synthesis of the arts." More than just a concept, "the synthesis of the arts" served as a slogan that reflected his overall artistic vision, guided by idealism in unity, harmony, and universal principles. While Le Corbusier is globally renowned as a master of modern architecture, he also brought innovation to various fields of visual arts. This exhibition features his paintings, sculptures, drawings, and tapestries from the 1930s onward, shedding light on his artistic pursuit of new uses of technology. Additionally, by showcasing his late architectural works, the exhibition reveals Le Corbusier's mature artistic vision, far beyond traditional frameworks.

These optimistic and joyful works challenge the functionalist image often associated with his famous phrase, "a house is a machine for living." By juxtaposing his works with those of contemporaneous avant-garde artists such as Léger, Arp, and Kandinsky, the exhibition also highlights Le Corbusier’s place within the artistic movements of his time.
