Note: Industrialist, collector and patron of the arts, Henry Frugès is best known for commissioning Le Corbusier to build the experimental city of Pessac, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Alongside this activity, he developed a personal body of work in which landscape and variations in light occupy a central place. Dated 1945, Buées dorées illustrates the sensitive research into atmospheric effects that characterizes much of his work.
