LE CORBUSIER introduced MARTIENSSEN to the work of Leger which influenced MARTIENSSEN's attitude to modern European art. In December 1937 MARTIENSSEN married Heather Bush, a talented student at the School of Architecture. Together they spent about six months in Europe, enjoying further meetings with LE CORBUSIER and with Leger.
