Specifications for Village Polychrome, near Biot, France

Date:

May 1953

Description:

- Two groups of four pastel drawings were originally produced in connection with the Village Polychrome project. The architect André Bruyère had retained one group, while the other was given to the patron and client, Francisco de Assis Chateaubriand Bandeira de Melo, who then donated it to the Sao Paolo Museum of Modern Art. Bruyère subsequently gave one of the four drawings in his group to a friend. The three remaining drawings from Bruyère's group are in the CCA Prints and Drawings collection (DR1996:0001 - DR1996:0003) ("Projet de Village Polychrome, Biot, France").
