19. "Each man in Corbu's drafting room has a list of two columns of ten numbers, each, pinned up on the wall next to his table. According to Corbu, these ten pairs of numbers are all that is required for the use of the modular scale in practice. The two systems of fenestration shown here demonstrate the great flexibility of the scale: the slot windows at Ronchamp make a tense, abstract pattern of light and shade, oddly in balance despite the great variety of openings.

22. Possibly the most successful result in this field of joint or collaborative expression is the Church of the Sacred Heart at Audincourt, France - finished in 1951. The architect, Novarina, collaborated most closely with the artist, Leger. However, it is possible to have the greatest artists of a century come together and yet produce nothing more than an appendage to the architecture. It is sadly true of the Church of Our Lady of Grace, in Assy, France (1950). Some of the artists assembled included: Roualt, Bonnard, Leger, Lurcat, Braque, Lipchita and Matisse. Because the individual artists involved worked separate at their assignments, it is almost impossible to concentrate jupon the church as a whole: it stands as an assemblage of isolated parts.

FOOTNOTES  FOR  CHAPTER 3

1. Within the next two years I plan to use plastics, but in the formative stages, I think it is important to use familiar materials. 
2. The existing architecture, except as a shelter, played no part in articulating the "free-standing painting." My work took on new meaning as an architectonic entity in its own right.
3. Future projects are entered on page v. They will be constructed in plastics and conceived as both an interior and exterior composition. They will become architectural, exist in the elements and derive part of their source of life and illumination from the world about. Characteristic movements of both constructed and painted composition are to be found, moreover, in the music of Schonberg, Bartok,  Nikolais and Varese. Ideally, a musician should be employed to work with the  painter in order to develop a musical composition for the environment.
