Le Corbusier painting sans vêtements:
“Etoile de Mar, Le Corbusier and his wall paintings”. Casabella.
So what’s with the scar on the leg? Shark attack? Seems the only likely answer.
Thanks again to Matt, gravestmor’s resident Scholar of Corb Oddities.

One of my architecture professors, who loved Corbu, told us that he was attached and bitten swimming in the mediterranean just off his little painting shack. The joke ran that when the shark bit him, Corbu bit the shark back.

in fact the scar was caused by a boat accident: a small boat hit LC while he was swimming and he got badly cut from the propellar (not sure it’s the right word, I am french)
