Oscar Niemeyer en France. Un exil créatif. Etrurie the exhibition includes groups neverBrazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, who died in 2012 on the eve of his 105th birthday, is world renowned for the city of Brasilia. After training at the Rio School of Fine Arts, he joined the firm of Lucio Costa, a close friend of Le Corbusier. So, when President Kubitschek entrusted the design of the new capital, Niemeyer naturally built the city's main public buildings. With the city's inauguration in 1960, he immediately became a global celebrity.
