Masterpiece of the naive art, the House Picassiette is the work of Raymond Isidore, born in Chartres on September 8th, 1900\. Coming from an unprivileged background, he moves in in 1928, in a small house which he builds, in the district of Saint-Chéron. A few years after this installation, during a walk, he(it) collects china and glass pieces a mosaic of which he(it) makes to decorate the inside of his(its) house. Little by little, he(it) recovers the internal and external walls as well as the furniture, of mosaics of shards or of paintings(paints). His(Her,Its) activity confers on him(her,it) certain reputation which does not affect(allocate) its simplicity. He(It) becomes then the sponger, "Picassiette". In 1956, he extends his house and continues only to adorn the new so created surfaces, isolating himself more and more in his creation and towards others. He dies on September 6th, 1964\. He(It) used 15 tons of shards of dishes(crockery) and multicoloured glasses, for which he(it) is going to look in public dumps. His(Her,Its) creations began in 1930 and ended in its death. The house Picassiette, acquired by the City of Chartres in 1981, is classified as "Historic Monument" in 1983 and labelled Heritage from the XXth century to 2016.
