The name Le Corbusier is a psuedonym, adopted from his maternal grandfather’s name "Lecorbésier". Adopting a single name to identify oneself was very popular of his era, especially in Paris, where he was based.
In 1918, Le Corbusier began painting, after an influential meeting with Amédée Ozenfant. He did nothing else until 1922, as he concentrated his efforts on his Purism theory and painting.
Le Corbusier died on August 27, 1965 at the age of 78, of a presummed heart attack, after going swimming against his doctor’s orders, in the Mediterranean Sea at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin in France.
Many were affected by the influential artist’s death, and homage’s were paid worldwide. Even some of his greatest artistic enemies, recognised the importance of his work.
