'Le Corbusier and Lucien Hervé: The Architect & the Photographer - A Dialogue', by Jacques Sbriglio, documents the 15-year collaboration of modernist architect Le Corbusier with photographer Lucien Hervé.

Le Corbusier, who rarely allowed himself to be photographed, is seen here in front of his sculpture 'The Totem' at his apartment on rue Nungesser-et-Coli in Paris
