From 1948, Le Corbusier undertook a large series of collages on ancient themes that were particularly striking in his past existence. These collages evoke his personal life, his architectural and town planning discoveries as well as his pictorial research. From this series of collages, he will make a selection which will serve as a starting point for the large autobiographical and somewhat esoteric book that he is designing for the publisher Tériade, who has just finished "Jazz" with Matisse. This bibliophile work entitled "Le Poème de l'angle droit", entirely lithographed from these collages, finally appeared in 1955 and enjoyed great commercial success as well as an excellent critical fortune.

À partir de 1948, Le Corbusier entreprend une grande série de collages sur des thèmes anciens particulièrement marquants de son existence passée. Ces collages évoquent sa vie personnelle, ses découvertes architecturales et urbanistiques ainsi que ces recherches picturales. De cette suite de collages, il fera une sélection qui servira de point de départ au grand livre autobiographie et un peu ésotérique qu'il conçoit pour l'éditeur Tériade, qui vient de finir le " Jazz " avec Matisse. Cet ouvrage de bibliophilie intitulé " Le Poème de l'angle droit ", entièrement lithographié d'après ces collages, paraît finalement en 1955 et jouit d'un grand succès commercial ainsi que d'une excellente fortune critique.
