Between beauty and history, to dive into a sea of colors, those used by major artists. Until October 30, 2016, you can pick the colors of an exhibition held in Cap Moderne (Roquebrune Cap-Martin) https://capmoderne.com/en/ You get inside a villa built around the year 20, an example of modernist architecture made from an Irish-born designer woman. On the 40th anniversary of the death of Eileen Gray, you too can find out what is “attention to detail”. Walking in and out of the villa (a masterpiece of modernism), maybe even you will discover – as many visitors – which is still an air of sensuality to wrap the first work of architecture of a woman named Eileen.

In 1926, she was 48 years old, for years had devoted herself to that project. https://capmoderne.com/en/lieu/la-villa-e-1027/ Do not forget, observing each of those rooms, that even for a small house she had to have a key requirement: the pleasure of being alone. Since 1938, unfortunately, she had not had that certainty, because an architect named Le Corbusier – in the absence of her – had painted murals on the walls. The lady of the house, however, was not pleased by this act she called “vandalism”. Of course, with only one visit, you can give yourself the wonder of an unusual house, along with sexist drawings of what would become a famous architect.
