Hi i'm Rebecca Rabinow, a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 1925, Sarah and Michael Stein saw an exhibition of decorative arts arts in Paris that featured a modern villa by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier. It was called the Pavillon de l'Esprit Nouveau They were impressed, and met the architect and hired him to design a villa for them outside of Paris. It was constructed between 1926 and 1928. This video, taken by Sarah and Michael’s young nephe wshows Sarah, Michael and some friends in the garden of the villa. Michael, in particular, was extremely involved in the construction of the house, He said, "After having been in the vanguard of the Modern movement in painting in the early years of the century, we are now doing the same for Modern architecture." Sarah and Michael lived in the Corbusier house for about ten years before returning to the United States.
