"The Maison Picassiette is an example of naive architecture made up of earthenware and glass mosaics cast in cement. It is located in Chartres and depends ...
on the Museum of Fine Arts of the city.
The house was built by one man Raymond Isidore (8 September 1900 - 7 September 1964), says Picassiette, municipal employee of the city of Chartres for which he worked as a roadmender, then sweeper of the cemetery.
Once his house was built, he had the idea of making frescoes covering everything little by little. His life was totally devoted to the construction and decoration of his house and the garden, in particular with the help of ceramic and porcelain debris, among others the plates that he obtained in public landfills, hence his nickname "picnic"." - (Wikipedia (en) 21.05.2022)
