Timing & context
A note on this hour

Good progress could delay departure. Assistants were occasionally invited, not every evening.

Paris · postwar atelier routine · Reconstructed postwar working routine

Combines Sołtan’s memoir, Currey’s account and Le Corbusier’s own words. Morning-work and dinner positions are illustrative; gaps remain undocumented.

1948 represents Sołtan’s 1945–1949 collaboration and is also the year of Le Corbusier’s published account of his painting mornings.
