Catalogue Note
Brouillon d'un texte dont nous ne sommes pas parvenus à déterminer l'origine dans lequel Le Corbusier écrit sur des thèmes récurents de son oeuvre : la main, Ubu et don Quichotte : "J'ai dessiné une main, au lieu d'un poil dans la main, j'ai fait surgir (...) un UBU, cet UBU, ici UBUS, qui m'ont occupé pendant la dernière guerre mondiale, avant, pendant et après, de leur puissance encombrante, hilares, oeil de crabe ou de homard, pif de Polichinelle, menton de don Quichotte (mon grand ami)".
Il signe, enfin, en dessinant le totem qu'il s'est choisi : "J'ai signé avec un corbeau".
