ART

Swiss architect Le Corbusier--best known for his functional, rectangular buildings--was also an avid admirer of the female form. A series of erotic drawings from the architect’s pen is on display at the Fine Arts Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. The exhibition, entitled “The Secret Le Corbusier,” brings together 190 drawings and collages he made between 1920 and 1964. Bearing his signature “L-C,” many of the sketches depict nude women reclining, bathing or dancing. Somecapture explicit sex scenes, while others make fun of corpulent females. The Lausanne exhibit isone of more than 100 in Europe this year marking the centenary of Le Corbusier’s birth. Le Corbusier, whose real name was Edouard Jeanneret-Gris, died in 1965.
